Port Unions non-negotiation tactics.

WTF?

Hiring people to train them and get them up to speed.
Takes a LOT more $$$ than paying overtime.
Overtime isn't mandatory, except for salaried employees or managers who get ripped off working overtime, ALL the time.
If it is a permanent need than training new employees so working overtime isn't necessary is the best option, especially if it isnn't mandatory.
Not me, that would be your dear leader and the scummy foreigner.

Sure, by replacing/firing your employees?

BS.
I was an employer, of a small business.
I paid overtime to people who volunteered for it when I was in crunch, even strapped on my tool belt to meet the demand, often working as a helper, getting the materials to keep my journeymen working, so they wouldn't waste time looking for stuff I got for them.
ie when you needed them to work overtime temporarily, ie crunch as you said. Smart move.
Imagine that, a boss helping their employees do manual labor.
Your dear leader or his foreign buddy would never steep to such depths.
They do alll the time. A employer doesn't need to know how to do every employees job but it is a wise thing if they ndid to avoid an employee frommholding him and that jobhostage.
 
With a 401k, it puts skin in the game. Maybe not in the business you work for, but in stocks for whatever business you invest in. Then you become the hated Stockholders the Democrats try to demonize.
Yep. Not to mention the fact that they want the type of pension that you see State and Federal workers get.

If the economy tanks, they are required by law to fully fund the pension anyway and if they can't, then the company has to forfiet everything and make sure the pension fund is fully funded.

Just ask the Postal Pension Fund.

It isn't but Trump seemed to think so.

So, NO raises?
Got it.

Yeah, lots of employers say that but if forced to choose between getting the job done on time and pay overtime or not, they n do what they have to do.
So, NO raises?
Got it.
What does this have to do with pay raises? You get an increase in compensation based on supply and demand, i.e. the line of those with your job requirements of folks wanting your job. And on the risk of loosing you to another company if you are hard to replace. If they believe you are easy to replace, bye.

MOST pay overtime.
Only cheap self proclaimed "Billionaires" don't.

WTF?
Working an entire year and your employer doesn't give you a raise?

Typical Republican.
Threatening employees claiming they can be replaced easily.

You would suck at being an employer and wouldn't last long being one.
And on the risk of loosing you to another company if you are hard to replace. If they believe you are easy to replace, bye.
See above.
 
Companies have only one obligation to an employee and that is a paycheck. You can always quite if you think they are abusing you. Automation is coming whether they like it or not and if those people WALK OUT,, guess what,,THERE ARE 20 MILLION ILLEGAL FRIENDS OF BIDEN THAT WILL GLADLY TAKE THEIR JOBS.
 
One thing american employers have is access to the hardest workers on the face of the earth.
 
Port unions are refusing to show up to negotiate their future. How are they supposed to arrive to a compromise if they won't even show up? They are getting a 32% pay raise already, but they want more and a ban on automation.

So if you notice your cost of groceries and other stuff to double in price in the near future, better you know it is not the profiteering of some CEO, but some gigantic Union.


It is unions, not CEOs, making things more expensive for everyday Americans.
These things hurt absolutely everyone price wise and nobody gets a raise but them. All of this hurts the poor the most and they already can't afford to live.
 
MOST pay overtime.
Only cheap self proclaimed "Billionaires" don't.
If it is a temporary situation, they do. If they don't have the staff to do what they need to do without overtime on a normal day, than they hire more people.
WTF?
Working an entire year and your employer doesn't give you a raise?
Maybe you suck at your job. Maybe you're damn lucky you didn't get fired. Maybe you are a subpar employee who doesn't perform at the expected level or efficiency.
Typical Republican.
Threatening employees claiming they can be replaced easily.
Sun Trust bank had an office in Tampa where there was a center where people would hand type your deposits into the computer, i.e. it was a while ago. If you clocked in 5 minutes late, they docked you 15 minutes. If you were 15 minutes late, they sent you home. Once a month, they would fire the least productive worker and hire a new one.

Result; No one was late to work, and everyone typed as fast and accurately as they could. They tended to burn out, but there were plenty of people to replace them with.

VERY obvious, you have never been an employer.
If the employee sucked at their job, it would be very clear within two weeks, maximum.

You're FOS.
When you punch a time clock, they can't dock your time.
If you were 15 minutes late, they sent you home. Once a month, they would fire the least productive worker and hire a new one.
Oh' well.

So that results in turnover.
Extra W-2's and paperwork.
Who wants to do that?
You would suck as an employee and wouldn't last as long.

See above.
I would hire you, for about two weeks.
After a a two week training period working 10 hour days, 7 days a week with no overtime pay.
You would be the perfect incompetent stooge.

Unions outlived their stated purpose decades ago and have diverted from preventing abuse to making them rich
 
NOT what your dear leader said.


I hate paying overtime. Every Fiscal Business owner hates paying overtime. Especially if it was every single week. Better to hire more people. You as a Democrat should appreciate that.

New employees always suck at their jobs, even those fresh out of college. Colleges teaches old stuff not current up to date stuff businesses actually use, because that new stuff is expensive.
You're FOS.

Not true. There are updates/changes to punch time all the time.
Oh' well.

Someone who has a hr department with nothing to do besides that.

You let me know the hours and the days before you hired me, I wouldn't take the job. If after you hired me, I would quit. I am no ordinary wage slave.

So?
That doesn't mean you refuse to pay overtime or like your dear leader, not pay at all.

That's different.
If a business has to pay overtime every week, they have management problems

NO there isn't.
If that is going on, they should be sued.

HR department?
Most companies in the US don't have those.
Supervisors or the actual owners have to do that.
You let me know the hours and the days before you hired me, I wouldn't take the job.
WTF?
Generally it's 5 days a week at 40 hours per paycheck, paid weekly.
If after you hired me, I would quit. I am no ordinary wage slave.
So, when your next employer ask why you left your last job and you answer "I refused to work overtime".......That is when your interview, would end.

I believe he meant he would do his best not to have to.

They do not change punches without employee request or permission.
HR department?
Most companies in the US don't have those.
Supervisors or the actual owners have to do that.
Every Company I worked at had a full-time HR Department with several staff members.
WTF?

I replied to someone, you(?) you claimed they would hire me 0 hours a day 7 days a week.

I would say it was a seasonal job and the season was over. And if it's only a couple of weeks, I wouldn't say anything at all and wouldn't put it in my Resume. Previous employers aren't allowed to say why you were "let go of" for fear of being sued for defamation, so I can say any damn thing I want to.
 
I believe he meant he would do his best not to have to.
No, he didn't.

Only if there is a mistake.

Which means you wouldn't be hired.

In other words..........LIE.

Figures.
