wow, he has a job, bitches and moans. WTF is wrong with people. If you don't like your job, yourself, your surroundings etc....this country is full of opportunities to change them. I fucking hate leaches.
According to SimplyHired.com, the average salary for a garbage collector is $43,000/year. Yeah the work is dirty but thats more than I make and Im doing ok so whats the issue with this guy?
Because he HAS to work.......Quote:

Mr.Hayes you chose the line of work you are in. Be thank ful that you have a job. However you may get what you wish for with Obamas reelection. Then when nobody can afford your companies service you can regret it then.
Last I heard we chose our professions, don't like it then change. He acts like Mittin's made him be a trash collector, as for him saying taht Mitt doesn't even know or could care less about his trash guy I say So the F*** what?
Yahoo News has the same credibility as the National Enquirer in the grocery store. The guy is a garbage collector or "sanitation engineer" because that is what he is mostly qualified to do. Stupid slant from a biased news service.
I bet there are about 23,000,000 people who would take his job and not bitch about it.
If it makes you feel any better, it looks the vast majority of the comments agree with the sentiment here.
I blame the unions.
I was told a long time ago; "The American worker is not happy unless he is bitching."
Figure out what your job is and do it to the best of your ability.
Be safe.
Guess they forgot to research that story before making the ad. Mittens actually spent time as an "undercover boss" working on a garbage truck as governor of MA.
Damn those facts and details getting in the way again. Snippet from the article.

One day I gathered trash as a garbage collector. I stood on that little platform at the back of the truck, holding on as the driver navigated his way through the narrow streets of Boston. As we pulled up to traffic lights, I noticed that the shoppers and businesspeople who were standing only a few feet from me didn’t even see me. It was as if I was invisible. Perhaps it was because a lot of us don’t think garbage men are worthy of notice; I disagree – anyone who works that hard deserves our respect. –
Whhhhaaaaaa I pick up trash for a living! Hey numbnuts did you read the job title or description? You knew damn well what you were getting into and if you don't like it leave. No one said "Hey man I want to hire you to be a fortune 500 company ceo" then duped you into slinging cans. And Romney sure as shit didn't do it to you either.
I would bet that Mitt's property taxes are paying the guy salary. If it's a private service he's paying for his salary out of his pocket. Either way, the guy is an ungrateful SOB.
That just pisses me off!
If this guy still wants to be picking up trash at 55-60 yrs old thats his fault. Most people strive for advancement in their jobs.
Seriously..anyone with a good mental health will prefer a successful millionaire's opinion over his trash guy. Why this guy deserves our attention is beyond me.
Ads like that just piss me off!
Did anyone make the guy become a 'sanitation engineer' - nope! $43k isn't too bad in my opinion? Do I get paid more, sure but I’ve had to work damn hard to get where I am.
There are too many people who just wanted to be handed everything!
I had to work hard to get my education in order to get a decent job then I even had to prove myself again to get a visa and my green card. It’s amazing what you can achieve if you’re determined.
He is lazy and does not want to work

I am not exactly sure what this guy is bitching about. I bet you could pay him twice as much and he would still bitch. He is a union trash man in Cali, he is making close to $65-70k.
I have been a commercial refuse transportation relocation engineer for almost 10yrs now, and I make about 60k. Its hard work but the compensation is pretty good.
I did residential trash for 6yrs before I switched over to commercial and the only thing I miss about resi is the Christmas tips :)
Wait, are these a joke?
This guy repairs fire engines on Mitt Romney's block.
Help me understand why Mittens doesn't like these people? I don't see where he's ever had any interaction or done anything to them to make them post these videos. There's a trash collector somewhere that hates Obama too since the only criteria appears to be: Do you have a trash collector? Yes. Hell, for that matter, I don't like my trash collector either. I have never even rushed out to hug them or offer them water or Gatorade. What a worthless human being I am.
Is this really where we are as a nation?
Fuck this shit.
Everyone go out and hug your trashman this week.
Already thereQuote:

Be glad you are an American! As a nation, we are so wealthy that we pay people a living wage to pick up our garbage and dispose of it by a sanitary method.
I can still remember the smell 10 miles out of Cairo, Egypt.
Be safe.
There are so many invisible services out there that we don't notice until they're no longer there- Trash collection, water, sewage, those guys who work for Xcel that keep our lights on when shit goes wrong. Are they asking for us to thank them? I have yet to hear anyone really complain about working a thankless job. And I agree with you cstone- I vividly remember the smell of anywhere in Afghanistan, smells like shit! Why? They don't have sewage or trash service... The only place I saw these were in US Developed parts like FOBs, Kabul, Baghram, etc. So what is this guy really trying to achieve here? Romney doesn't outwardly thank his own trash guy? I don't either, so what? BFD!Quote:
