Scott - You really got me going on this one......please make it stop!!!

Webster says a union is......An alliance or confederation of persons, parties, or political entities for mutual interest or advantage.

I guess TBN is really a union organization/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif. I'll have to check with Muhammad as I haven't received my card yet!! Chuck

When I was in college, I used to spend a lot of my time in the Student Union Building.

Does that make me pro-union??/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I don't like unions because they usually are difficult to get together and when you finally get one together, it usually doesn't fit that well and leaks.. Having said that, it seems that there is no way around them. Got to have tried one at least once to decide if you want to use one.
Maybe we should move this subject a little off base and discuss Social Security????? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

"I like unions too...

Those can be the most expensive unions of all /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif They definately diminish the male's free speech effort /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif And cost you at least half of what you have to get out of /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Unions are good and bad depending on the situation. I've had a union with the wife for 28 years now and still hanging in there.

I worked for a company once that was going to join a union. We did not need one either. The lazy people that worked there were the ones trying to form it. The owner had a nice sitdown meeting with all 1200 workers. He told us that he had treated all of us with the utmost respect over the years. How he kept us working during the slow times by stockpiling parts in warehouses instead of layoffs. He then went on to say that if we joined a union. He would close the company and move it out of state. That was the last we ever heard about organizing a union there. No one ever got any flack or bad treatment for trying to start one either.

The next place I worked at had a union. I have nothing good to say about it either.
