What do you expect? When it is not affecting them, they’re against it. But when it is benefiting them, they’re all for it.
That is the awkward situation “Joe the Plumber” finds himself in, as he explains on his Facebook page that he, a proud union bashing Conservative, is now a member of the UAW Union.
“In order to work for Chrysler, you are required to join the Union, in this case UAW. There’s no choice – it’s a union shop – the employees voted to have it that way and in America that’s the way it is,” he wrote.
“I had three days of orientation, and now I’m “on the job” over here at Chrysler and on Day 4, I’m outside on a break smoking a cigarette and right on cue – some guy calls me a ‘teabagger,’” he said.
He said the man called himself a “journeyman,” and then quickly walked away.
“I asked him if he recognizes the training we receive in the military in the trades as legitimate, but he didn’t seem interested in a serious discussion and just rushed off…” Mr. Wurzelbacher said. Mr. Wurzelbacher has said that he learned plumbing in the Air Force.
