Yep they f---ed us good. One of the pipefitters was a 25 year employee.
So they got rid of all of your Sheetmetal workers/Pipefiters? This means that Ft. Worth no longer has Back Shop status.
Lol found the electrician apprentice
And worst of all- one electrician apprentice. It's too bad, he's very handsome & clever.
They have been turning away our work and today they have the nerve to blame the crafts for not working hard enough...
"Southern region won't be affected," they cooed as they rubbed their grubby little paws together. "Y'all are the most profitable region. The cuts are adjustments to the coal industry." Their dead eyes catch the other, wondering if their lies would placate the masses. "Just work hard and get your numbers," they began to salivate, their ere-----s growing at the thought of these plebs working even harder, "and you won't see a reduction."
