HA!!
You're quite welcome, pal. :o)
"If you are not a union member, if all that you speak of is sourced from news articles and what other people say, than your knowledge and experience is anecdotal."
I see.
Using your logic then if one hasn't served in the military they know nothing of military matters?
Or one hasn't children they know nothing of family issues?
Haven't served time in a prison know nothing of criminality & on and on.
You're right where you belong bucko, in a union.
A marriage made in Heaven.
"My experience is real and up close and personal."
As an X-USW member so was mine.
My father held a number of executive positions with his local up to & including President also & your view's, at best, a convoluted one.
Their taking the money out of your check before you ever see it must what you meant by, "up close & personal" then, huh. :o)
Hey X, best find a new occupation because your present one's on the endangered species list. ;^)
"Frankly, I think you are a bigot as well, that is what we call people who paint a group of people with a single brush."
Frankly I think you're an idiot, an useful idiot.
...that's what *we* call union members. ;^)
Let me just say this, there a few bad apples in the union barrel, as there are in the GOP. Most union rank and file are working men and women trying to support their families.
Many union members that I know, I'm in Michigan, so I do know quit a few, fall into that aforementioned catagory.
I'm noticing a growing number of rank and file that are starting to question the political mantra of the union leadership.
For the record, My sister has been the president of her local in Flint, Mi, My older sister is active in the MEA in Saginaw, Mi, My brother just retired fron GM in Saginaw, Mi, My baby sister is MEA in Kalamazoo, MI, And I'm proudly supporting our troops manufacturing Bradly fighting vehicle transmissions in Muskegon, Mi at UAW local 113, one of the oldest surviving locals in this fine country of ours.
My entire family for generations has been as conservative as any.
Many of our close friends are conservative as well.
I choose not to enter into a flame war with you, I'll let your insults slide right off. I've not only been insulted by better men than you, I work right along side several, evrey day.
Good day, sir.
