To: Eagle Forgotten

The Unions are NOT to be trusted.

I was a grocery checker in Los Angeles in late 60’s.

There was a vote held on whether or not to strike.

MEMBERS HAD TO BE AT A MEETING TO VOTE—EARLY EVENING HOURS.

I DID attend that meeting.

Only about 100 or so in the room.

WE VOTED TO NOT STRIKE.

I went home thinking I would be at my shift the next day.

EARLY AM news: CHECKERS ON STRIKE !!!!!!!

WE NEVER VOTED TO STRIKE

Unions were demanding around 50 cents an hour raise. I think they settled for about 5 cents.

BUT——WE ALL LOST MORE INCOME IN THOSE STRIKE DAYS THAN WE EVER MADE UP-— AND-—

THE UNION BOSSES OUTRIGHT LIED
