I hate Unions!! I was with one cause I had to, because I was a State worker.

After 8 years with the state I got sick, and now disabled. No fault of the job, but we do not pay Social Security tax, it gets payed into our retirement. So after working all my life, and the last 8 years for the State I can't collect SS cause I have paid nothing to them, they say collect from my job instead, but the Job says I don't have my 10 years to be vested, so I am **** out of luck!!
This was a Union vote some years back before I worked there. They said we do not have to pay State taxes cause of the Job, but no one told me that included SS so now I am in a hole were all I can get is $700 a month, but only if I get my truck repoed cause its worth more then the $5000 asset I am allowed. I have to get rid of my house cause the $1100 month mortgage is more then they will be giving me. We won't even get into the boat!
So if I get rid of the things I have worked my *** off for I can have there $700 a month and live like a homeless person.
