    I definitely read it in more of a bit of a proud tone; “even if they tried to mess with my lunch break, union’s got me covered” or so. That’s probably where we diverged.

    As for their first quote, well, I just figured that even if you’re in a union job, it’s still possible to not enjoy the job – I’m not about to find fault in someone coveting the small moments of fun they get in their workday. (As an aside, even if a company is legally required to recognize a union, I figure “be respected” isn’t really more likely post-unionization than it is beforehand, at least at most companies.)

    Hope this helps

      I suppose it’s up to individual on how they interpret it.

      I personally word my statements carefully to reduce the odds it gets misinterpreted, butt it still happens on occasion.

      If I’ve misinterpreted here, whoops. Onwards we go with no ill-will to anyone.
