My friend Bob must be a sick man. He's a union butcher. He works 10 hour
days because he loves dealing with the public at the store I shop in.
But,
he's probably the only union employee in the known universe who's like
that.
Right, Dave?


Use your head Doug. Union membership is MANDATORY in many businesses
(Gee, I wonder why?). Not all union members take advantage of the
system to slack off.

Good. I just wanted to be sure you understood that. I thought maybe you were
making another one of your exquisitely stupid absolute statements.


But that does not negate the fact that a great
many do. Union rules are made to benefit those who don't aspire to be
the very best that they can be.

All union rules? Do you know why they came to exist initially?


In other words they are protectionist,
and foster an attitude of mediocrity.

All union rules are protectionist? What about rules regarding safety and
working conditions? Be careful here, Dave. Your response may make you a
target for "ad puer" (not "ad hominem") remarks.
