    Fuck, sorry about your woes, Ragoo Baby! I'm job hunting again, looking to change careers for the umpteenth time! I'm in Transportation, so I feel ya.

    Unfortunately, unions as we know it have been slowly turning into an elitist fraternity rarely caring about their 'brothers in arms'. My former union president attended more high priced 'Grand Poobah' jaunts with fat cat business CEOs than addressing the needs of us workers!

    Jimmy Hoffa died in more ways than one; his fight for the worker ideology has died, too.
    I work for SEIU, Switch. I represent a variety of members in different fields. Public service, Private service, school districts, building service etc. What the concern is, Bush is the most anti-union president in a century! The reason he is is that where you said "unions are turning into an elitest fraternity rarely caring about their "brothers in arms", is not the case at all. Those "Fat Cat" presidents are mostly gone... either to jail or were just not reelected by their members. Those days are a thing of the past. Bush is for big business, we all know that, and the only way for those companies to make even more money is to crush the Unions that are negotiating fair wage, health insurance and pensions for the average worker. The labor movement as a whole has not been this focused in years, more workers are signing up for memberships because the "company" wont be fair. The more anti-union activism Bush and his gang put forth, the stronger the Unions get!
    I feel for those airline workers, when your employer can ask for federal relief from a signed Union contract, and most likely get it, things in this country are way out of control. I went to Scranton PA on election day to walk the streets getting support for John Kerry. There were 1200 Union staff and members just at this one AFSCME local we went to. The "brotherhood" is alive and well! We have to be, our future and that of the people I am priveleged to represent every day, depends on it!

        And those airline workers that are about to get fucked over are the same people that received those better contracts as a result of 9/11!

        Thanks for all you do on the job!

        P.S. Now surrender 20% of your wages, the health insurance coverage for you and your family, and I'll take your retirement pension too! Thanks again!~
