Then I am not alone in remembering our lead...Good! Then I am not alone in remembering our leader's leaden feet. <BR/><BR/>And yeah, these anti-union people make me sick.

Really.People my age DO NO...People need to wake up. Really.<BR/><BR/>People my age DO NOT join unions. They look at me like I have a third eye when I say I am going to join AFSCME. They think it is stupid to pay union dues. Why? They claim the unions do nothing. <BR/><BR/>But they forget that unions are the reason for the 40 hour work week, for overtime, for days off, for sick pay, for holidays, for benefits, and so on. It was not some manager who decided that people should not work 16 hour days 7 days a week for straight pay, or that workers should be able to earn sick leave. <BR/><BR/>In the good old days, when you got sick and missed work, you lost your job. No questions asked. <BR/><BR/>Management has been trying to undo the work of organized labor for decades. All they needed was a work force that was sleeping at the switch. Now thay have that work force. And people my age are so frigging STUPID that they are allowing it to happen. <BR/><BR/>Idiots. They will learn when it is too late.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1126738686965835892005-09-14T18:58:00.000-04:002005-09-14T18:58:00.000-04:00I guess Micrsoft is thinking ahead.Thanks for stop...I guess Micrsoft is thinking ahead.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog on my b-day!<BR/>I was at the doc's and the hospital nearly ALL day and now I'm back at my hotel.
