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

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."

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


No bidding process?



Uh, no. I'm not selling "printing" or "office supplies."
Just exactly what is it that you sell? Got any samples?
