If they say you don’t need a union, you need a union.

I think this must be some sort of Stargate and it's sucking people in

Yeah - could be. I can't picture a lot of these parking lot poles, but I'm sure you're right.
This one, however, is clearly in a place that just lands in people's blind spots or something. This is like collision #27. I think we know this is a bad idea now, but they just keep rolling it back out hoping it won't happen again.

That pole has become a real pillar of the community in Auburn.

They're going to have to hire someone to stand in front of it to stop people from hitting it. Although I pity the brave soul who risks their life for a stop sign.

The biggest issue I have with unions is the standardization of wages. The slackers get paid the same as the hardest workers. One person calls out frequently, does sloppy work, and has a bad attitude, while another worker is more reliable, has better quality work and a good attitude. It is not right that they both get paid the same.
Additionally, I have seen union members file frivolous grievances. A guy blatantly and repeatedly violates safety rules, gets written up on said violations, and files a grievance over getting written up. And good luck firing a union member, regardless of their work record.
I can see where unions played an important role in workers getting fair compensation and safe working conditions, but I question the benefits today

My local hannaford posts on my town facebook group trying to hire people for pharmacy techs and other positions.
I troll them HARD about how allowing unions would bring them the needed staff, as well as trying to get them to commit to a starting salary for any of their several generic entry level positions. They won't mention any sort of hourly rate-- I assume because they have existing people working for less, who would get "uppity" if they found out new hires were getting more.
Sometimes they lock the comments, LOL.

I mean, there are lots of poles that don't get hit either.

That's because there's no rational explanation for why people keep hitting this one pole.

That also seems like something that has happened a bunch. Can you explain? Nothing explains it in what you shared
