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...



More bull****.

Honesty and hard work are not words found in the union handbook.

That's pretty despicable. It certainly isn't true and anyone with half a
sense of right and wrong would know that.

Two Firefighters Killed in California Wildfires
by James Parks, Sep 4, 2009



Firefighters across the country are mourning the loss of two heroic Los
Angeles firefighters who were killed while battling the wildfires raging
in Southern California.

Tedmund Hall and Arnaldo Quinones, both members of Fire Fighters (IAFF)
Local 1014, died Aug. 30. It appears the two were in a truck searching
for an escape route for corrections personnel and inmates of an area
prison camp when their truck went over the side of a dirt road and fell
800 feet into a canyon.

Services for the firefighters will be Sept. 12 at Dodgers Stadium.

I wondered why I didn't see you in my posts. Now I realize why. You're
plonked. I retired with 37 years as a Teamster. Nice pension. Paid
insurance. All gotten by going to work, working hard, and being honest.

Well, most of the time. ;-)

I'm only human.

Why is it the people who dis unions so bad were never in them? Maybe
wouldn't work and play well with others? Just a guess.
