FIRED BOC

        My friend got fired from Chronic Tacos, a Mexican restaurant that is in my local area. He was fired because he didn't mop one night out of the 5 months he worked there and was immediately dismissed and payed up to date for the hours he had achieved. He was not depressed though, my friend Max went ahead and got a job at the Rio hotel and Casino at a pretzel shop and is still working there to this day. Not only is he focused and determined he learned no matter how well something is going for him he cant slack off not even one day of the week, and that he needs to be on top of his responsibilities and have his game face on during the job. I can see where the company came from when firing my friend because they are paying him to do a job if the job requirements are not met why pay someone to dick around and do what there not supposed to do, at the same time i think a warning would of been appropriate, but it is a job and business is business and they company is trying to be successful and make money at times like these everything needs to be legit and professional. I believe everything happens for a reason and he was destined for a new job and god made that path distinct for him. The pretzel place is fit for him he is a heavier set guy and so he can enjoy his pretzels and making pretzel at the same time and get paid for him to enjoy one of things he loves most in life.

If I wanted to work for a company and I had to join the union to get the job I desired then so be it. The union is made to serve the people and make our world go round, and if the job I desired meant that I would have to go through the union to get it then why wouldn't I go through the union? You pay monthly to be a member of the union but at the same time you make enough money that there monthly fees would not be severe to other bills at hand. If they called strike over an issue I did not agree with i would support the strike to go ahead and keep my job and position. If i went against the strike and the strike made there word out there i would be replaced for not supporting it.

week 9 BOC

In the United States unionism in some form is almost as old as the nation itself. Crafts that formed local unions in the late 18th and early 19th cent. included printers, carpenters, tailors, and weavers. Their chief purpose was to keep up craft standards and to prevent employers from hiring untrained workers and importing foreign labor. From 1806 there were numerous prosecutions by employers of unions as combinations in restraint of trade. The early 1830s, a period of industrial prosperity and inflation, was a time of union development; however, the financial Panic of 1837 halted this growth. After the Civil War, in 1866, the National Labor Union was formed; it had such objectives as the abolition of convict labor, the establishment of the eight-hour workday, and the restriction of immigration, but it collapsed with its entry into politics in 1872.

 In the text above it says that the union is as old as the nation itself and without the union i believe that the united states would not be put together so well and understanding of a system would be lost. The union is a system that was made to make our society go round. Everyone has a responsibility and each different responsibility helps as others do their jobs and everyone is taken care of and is well linked in this sysytem.
