nice summary!
I paid full working dues to my union for 25 years. I was always
happy to
write the check each quarter.
I never felt more like a statistic when I worked in the union when I
was young. I was nothing more than a drone, as were the others.
Having had some encounters with the Soviet Bloc when in my life time,
I have appreciated the fact that working under union duress was a
microcosmic experience of communism. --


and i never felt more like a drone watching plant closings, lay offs
of engineers, etc, with no union protection at all, courtesy of
'management watching out for stockholders' when they were really
protecting themselves.

Start your own company if you don't like the way "management" is
running the one where your are an employee. Does your employment
contract have a clause that says you are guaranteed lifetime
employment? Oh, that's right you don't have an employment contract.



It's going to be an interesting day when your job is phased out and
you are dumped into the job market without an appropriate educational
background.

When you have 31 years experience a BA/BS degree from 30 odd years ago
becomes less important. My ability to perform the job is more important.

"But...but...I was a marine..."

The majority of people see that as a positive.

I got paid today. Mr Evil CEO deposited a big fat check into my my bank
account.

A single stinking diploma from a third rate liberal arts school in
Kansas is all he has to hang his hat on. And the only thing he'll be
remembered for when he departs for the after life is WAFA.
