Safe travels Russ!

People think that the good nature of people will prevail one they are all in a setting where everyone works for he common good. The problem is, humans being humans, someone always figures out they can get by doing less than others and still get just as much as the rest. Then someone else sees what that person did and does the same...lather, rinse, repeat. It's OK to be successful and *gasp* rich! It is not a zero sum economy...your riches do not equate to some workers being poor. Sometimes people make bad choices and are victims of themselves and no one else.

Where is my ladder? This soap box is far fro the ground

Thanks Stan! I was about to get too worked up about politics. Better to get worked up about her.

I worked security at a grocery warehouse and while I was already anti-union watching how those guys got away with **** and the structure of the union and the way people are advanced purely on time served made solidified my belief they are nothing but a legal mafia org that is strong arming business owners

You're correct, Mark. Labor Unions are now the big business that Labor Unions were created to fight. Odd, huh?

Yup. I enjoy the security but that's it. Don't do the rest of the crap. You can get away with anything here as long as you have one year in. Good thing I enjoy my job.
