The ratmedia saves this same article and dusts it off every cycle. They first used it in 96, "Thug unions to spend every penny they have to get the congress back for the rats." And they did and they didn't! Then when that didn't work, they said it again in 98. Same results. 2000 and 2002 - same result. The problem these thugs have is that people are no longer swayed by nit wits knocking on their doors. It did't work then. It won't work now.
My favorite story is about the morons in the Florida teachers union who re mortgaged their headquarters to put up money for foghorn leghorn aka bill mclawyer's campaign for gov of Fla. Now they have no HQ! Hee hee hee. One more thing, remember cheeks gephardt had the "UNIONS" backing him in the rat primaries. In Mo. he got 11%!!!!Hee hee hee again.
A few years later Caterpillar told its workers to go to hell when they went on strike, and then GM refused to give in when some of their foundry workers DEMANDED to have a 5 1/2 hour day count as an 8 hour one for pay purposes.
They're getting pretty desperate now, and taking in whatever they can get, and most union employees now are of the $6/hr variety.
