not as much of a crapshoot as it is with no union shop.
Life is a crapshoot.......I just didn't believe lazy *******s should
get the same pay I did. Didn't like it then, wouldn't like it now.

pay is the only way to go......unless, of course, that's where you
have trouble passing muster.

I had no problem with two companies and a 30 year career. Now, I am
retired.....haven't had a car payment since 1989.....a house payment
since 1994. Just dabble around rebuilding older trucks. Just finished a
'69 Ford 1/2T (390V8, belly tank, 4 wheel disc brakes, new interior) for
my brother in law. Am currently working on a '66 Chevy 1/2T for my
nephew (383 roller motor, aluminum heads, 7004r trannie, four wheel disc
brakes, new interior replacing a tired 6 banger and 4 wheel drums).
Just gave a '69 Chevy 1/2T to my niece's husband (disc brakes, 383CID,
Turbo 350) and a '72 FJ40 (350V8, four wheel discs) to another brother in
law.
Oh, those are in addition to a '94 Toyota Pickup (rejuvenated), an '02
Tacoma and a '97 Tundra. Oh, well....... 
I have a couple of folks trying to tempt me with a '39 GMC 1/2T and an
old Studebaker 1/2T. Who knows........
Oh, do the Studebaker, RD! Please, please...
I'll be your friend...I'll be your best friend! 8D
Unfortunately, I have little skill with automotive renovation. Or even
a place to work, what with three cars and four motorcycles. Wife is not
quite to the way "bike goes or I do" stage. It might be a tough choice. ;P
Still, we're looking at a log house on 27 acres next to a state park. I
might even take a jc course...
