    Look, I’m probably the exception here, but someone I know works at a company as a manager. He is more than willing to work with the union guys there with anything, but the real problem is that a lot of them get very lazy. Like, not doing their job lazy. And it’s near impossible to get rid of them because the union will spin it some other way. That’s the one real negative to unions, but they’re not the silver bullet to every industry

      By not doing their job, I know he means that they don’t go above and beyond, or do things that he asks that aren’t in their job description. And why should they? Every manager I’ve ever known to say his workers are lazy, actually means that his employees aren’t rushing around to get things done, and again why should they? Sounds like your buddy is a shit boss who doesn’t like that he can’t abuse his staff
