It's amazing what people are taking for granted, isn't it? Dumbasses take their paid vacations, sick days, overtime pay, etc., etc., then turn around and support people who see all of that as waste and ineffiency. They've even stood by and watch to blatant attacks on the very institutions that fought for all of these things over decades and cheered the attackers on because, "All unions do is take your dues money!" And, they think it's the unions that are trying to fuck them.
I come from a largely union family too, Bob. My old man told me, back in my Republican days, "You won't realize what you had until those guys have taken it all back. And they will, given the time and support to do it."
