While I concede that the labor movement did, indeed, improve the

I think, for the astute, there is a realization there to be
had.....


Yeah, that today, a strong labor union movement is needed more than
ever in the face of internationalism, corporatism, the exporting of
jobs, and the elimination of hard-fought-for fringe benefits
everywhere in the country. Workers of all sorts are being reduced to
the same sort of chattel they were in the 19th century.

Bull! Next tine you want a job, ask for one from a union member.
Don't bother a business owner or manager.



Poor Lu. Dumb as a post. Again.

There you go. Attack the messenger, never the message. Again.


I've never had the slightest problem obtaining work from union members.
In fact, next month I'm starting up an entirely new project that I got
from union members.

That's a job from a union organization's management. Big difference. Did
they require you to show your union membership?





Hehehe. Poor Lu. For the most part, "a union organization's management"
*is* comprised of union members.

You are the one that doesn't get it. Unions have bureaucracies, just like
private and public organizations. When you say you got a contract from a
union, it wasn't awarded by a single member; instead, it was awarded by a
bureaucracy, i.e. management.

Chances are, individual members of the union you are prostituting for would
hope for a better return on their investment, aka union dues.

Why quibble further? We will never agree. Get help. Please.
