I quit a job regarding safety at a nuclear power plant over principles... the union business representative was at my house the same day. I capitulated (meaning their man was spared the indignation of an investigation, although he was later put out to pasture) and I left the union goons and their umbrella of benefits... never to return. I get a 20 year pension instead of a 40 year pension. I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT WITH MY DECISION.
It is our dragon slaying stories that bring us here.
