It’s the “pot calling the kettle black” when one of the world’s largest labour unions accuses Costco of unethical conduct. Using force to pressure business owners to “bend the knee” in immoral.
I have relatives that are high up in THE UNION. They enjoy first class travel all over the world for the various conferences they attend (and many were not union related). I own a private retail business and I cannot tell you the number of times THE RELATIVES sniffed as they declared I became successful OFF THE BACKS OF MY EMPLOYEES!!! This is while they were enjoying MY HOSPITALITY in MY HOME. As the host, I wanted them to feel welcome, did not want to cause trouble, and more or less laughed it off.
Then COVID hit. It was highly stressful for business owners EVERYWHERE. A few more punches to the face (by email, of course) regarding business owners being pigs at the trough that turn in to hogs that get slaughtered, and telling me I WAS HOLDING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY HOSTAGE because I refused the shot, and my patience wore out. I lost my relationship with these two. I do not know whether it will be repaired. I do find it curious though, as I stated earlier, they fly FIRST CLASS on the union dime, I do not fly first class. Yet they accuse ME of sucess because I take advantage of my staff to enrich myself. POT MEET KETTLE!
