Thanks to GOD for the Thunderstorms that rolled through for the past three days.



Many thanks to all the Union Brothers and Sisters that stood with us.

Glad to hear, buddy!!!

I like it...

ripping r

frist i have heard of this. what was it about?

Hopefully,that's over.

Looming on the west coast is a possible Retail Clerk grocery strike. The chains pay all of their pension but are asking them to pay $95.00/month for a family of four's health benefits. Poor babies. My wife and I contributed 150K toward our pensions and currently pay the retiree rate of $850/month health insurance.

I honored the strike last time,but if they strike over this "draconian" request I'll cross.

The corporate Thugs gave in I hope. What they were trying to do was wrong. Not a Union member here. It was the principle of what they were trying to do that fired me up. This is one place where Unions are needed, but I still don't like them.

If the original company package was accepted, we'd see the equivilent of a $20,000 a year pay cut.
This is a company that shows profits in the BILLIONS per year.

Uhmmmmmm.......NO!

Glad to hear Ed.

Good news that you are going back with the existing contract. No gain or loss.
And it was a short strike, you did not have to tap into all that gold you have stashed in your storage shed.

Typical. Glad to hear it Ed.

Verizon employees return to work and the earth quakes. That's some striking power.

Shovelhead

Believe me..... I've already heard it several times this afternoon from folks on base....

12valve@heart

So you don't deny that the earthquake was your fault!?!

Shovelhead

That's my story,.... and I'm stickin' to it.
