TF kind of comment is this?

Can’t be “stressed enough” that this is a union shop?

Just come on out and post a couple links to anti-union propaganda while you’re at it.

Typical because one union isn’t great they all suck comment or something? How is the title misleading if this is actually what happened: “guy misses no work and gets a house thanks to donations”

What is misleading about that?

Wanna know what the real thing that should be stressed is? The part where he calls it the “American Dream”. What is the dream exactly…? Slave your ass away and hope someone buys you a house?

Edit: I looked through 7 different articles. Not one mentioned that this was a union shop. Post proof of him being a union member for the duration of his employment, post proof of when the union was voted in.

From the OP article

"Then as our family grew and he remarried, he continued to work there because of the amazing health insurance that was provided through this employer because it was unionized. This got all four of his daughters through high school and college with full healthcare coverage."
