AMERICANS WITH NO ABILITIES ACT (AWNAA)
The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has
a
long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to
performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job
skills,
making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of
Inability.
Reminds me of one of my cousins... he worked at a letter carrier. Ok.
Better than hanging out in bars. Then, the PO offered him a promotion.. He
turned it down because he thought it might be too stressful. He's still a
carrier 10 years later. Now that's ambition and drive... er, walk mostly.

I know what you mean. I have had uncles who worked for the railroads in
Florida turn down promotions to supervisor and substantial pay raises
because they didn't want to give up their union membership.
"By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be
the boss and work twelve hours a day." (Robert Frost)
My dad turned down several promotions to supervisor. He knew that the
union had a habit of taking the real hard workers, making them supers,
then finding a way push them out the door...
