Has anyone seen any deals due to this pandemic?

The part about most member being hard working folks?

You are pickin fly chit outta the pepper.
It is possible that you may even know the answer to your own question.
Sadly: You are obviously a union hater.

Well,.... whatever you choose to think!
For ten years, I was an elected union representative for a local union with 6000 members, that nationwide had 50,000 members.
All were college educated.
We had 3 strikes in my 33 years there (that is 3 too many).
The issues you suggest were NEVER true!

LMAO...nothing like an unbiased opinion... :laughing:

Opinions are just like axx holes....everybody has one.
Factual experience is VERY different!

Having been on the union side of that issue more than once, I can absolutely guarantee that is 100% FAKE NEWS!

Not really. I am on the management side of things now. The union constantly comes to management with issues they know they have no power or will win. Answer I get is they have to represent their members and show they are trying.

I am a Union Carpenter. So, being on the inside there is good and bad like everything else in life. Good guys / bad guys. Hard workers / lazy pieces of sh*t. The wages are great compared to non union, and the benefits are better as well. The one big difference I see is the level of professionalism of the Union men vs the non union. Union guys know their craft and are career men; others, not so much. Not that any of this has anything to do with good deals because of the pandemic...

One of my best friends is in the carpenters union. Hes also 8 years younger than me. I was taught by my father and self taught. I can almost double his output. He’s a good framer, but he just shakes his head at my work output compared to his. I don’t take any breaks or eat lunch. Ill eat 2 or 3 protein bars I keep in my nail pouch while I work. Of course a protein bar in a nail pouch prolly violates a union rule of some kind. :laughing:
By the end of an 8 hour day, I will have worked 7&1/2 hours. He will have worked about 6 hours. :ashamed:
Im not anti-union. My wifes in a union and she has outstanding benefits extended to our family and an amazing pension that would make me ashamed to collect it. Of course that pension is taxpayer funded.

I saw where Kubota is advertising 0% financing, with delayed payment. Not sure what all is going at that rate...

Wow, after reading the last two pages of the thread your comment made me go back to read the original topic. :thumbsup: 0% has been around for quite a while. JMHO, but the delayed payments are offered by a lot of finance companies right now and is going to come back to bite them in the backside.
