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 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!
