One is an ex Army Ranger, and the other stands 6 foot 4 and ways over 300 pounds. I wish I could post up our Union newspapers from last year compared to two years ago. Two years ago it was work everywhere, and we had to import fitters from other places. Now we are doing good to get 3 or 4 days a week, but we still need to worship any politician with a "D" behind their name.. And what about not taxing Union Cadillac plans, but taxing everyone else's? Does this seem fair to anyone? I'd like to hear one "decent" reason why I should not be taxed while my neighbor would be, just because I'm Union. Of course most Union guys will say that's great, but it sure isn't fair what they gave to Nebraska.

"You are overpaid and underworked, I'm sure we can find someone who will do the job for half as much and do it just as well, if not better." What you apparently don't see, is that that time just hasn't come for you -----yet. You've been lucky and nothing else. This is why your fellow employees are mad at you. Funny how someone who is so smart.........Well, you can figure out the rest.
