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

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.

This is rich: **you* are explaining how unions work to me. As a matter
of fact, *almost all* the union contracts I have enjoyed in my work life
*have* been awarded by a single member of the various unions.

In fact, the *new* contract I am starting on shortly was also *awarded*
by an individual, who told my contact to "give *that* contract to Krause."

Great, nothing like being closed minded to new and refreshing ideas
from someone else, huh? No damned wonder the unions are driving work
to other countries.

Of course, your comments on the quality of work I provide my clients are
also borne of your ignorance. You haven't a clue.- Hide quoted text -


Hell Harry, you do that to everyone here.
