Our
union
rep was waking around today after a meeting
handing out some little tchotchkes, including a ballpoint pen
with
the
union logo on it. Like everything else the union buys, it is
union
made
and proudly emblazoned with the logo of the union who produced
it.
As I
was taking some notes, I noted that the pen would write a few
inches
then
stop, write a few more inches, then stop again. I don't think
our
union
rep was too happy when I commented, "This pen is just like the
average
union worker. It only works half the time."

You should quit your job immediately if you don't like unions.
You
could go work somewhere else for less money than you are worth.


Only union jobs pay folks a decent wage?

Where did I say that? Learn to read, please.

I guess somewhere close to 90% of
workers in the US are underpaid then.

Hmm, I DO know that there are many, many people underpaid. Ask them.

And why is union membership declining?

The right wing whining makes people believe that unions are bad....
You do realize that before unions, working conditions were horrible,
kids as young as 7 or 8 were forced to work 14 hour days, or more?
There were no safety measures.

Given your expertise with the English language, this will not be a
challenge:

Must be on the sauce again, huh, John? This is going to be like the
last bender you were on, when everything anybody posted was met with
"Krause is a ****ing liar", huh?

This is the second post today in which you've said, "Krause is a ****ing liar."
Have you got something against Krause?

OK, here's an easy one:
