This is how unions jumped the shark. I'm grateful for what they did for improving working conditions and wages, but this crap is why they've rendered themselves irrelevant. Or the "you have to call a union electrician to plug in a PC and a union carpenter to hang a picture" shenanigans. My x/g/f was a manager at a large HMO and her underlings were union. She had one who was consistently late or just wouldn't show up; she had a little chat with (aka "wrote up") the retard, who immediately went out on "stress leave." GMAFB.
