GM.
Had a union meeting last night to go over our new master contract. The ILA successfully negotiated our way out of any progression of automation in our industry.
Part of the agreement includes an increase in work standards on an individual basis. I could not be happier about this.
Unions get a bad reputation, some deservedly so, for creating an incentive to do as little work as possible because the negotiations don’t support a meritocracy.
As much as I think it’s important to protect workers, I also see how unions can be problematic for employers.
I love my job. I love the work I do. I enjoy getting up into this machine everyday and trying to raise the standard of my own individual performance. I may make the same amount of money that the guy with the worst performance here, but I am much happier and more fulfilled than he will ever be.
Control what you can control. Create your own standards. Make them higher than any standard someone else will hold you to. I believe doing this ensures your happiness as you continually push yourself to meet them.
This morning, I’m working at a pace more than double the new industry standard. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to work such a cool job in such a well protected industry.
