The Teamsters when i was a loader working on a loading dock and Retail Clerks as a box boy, and stocker.

All three of those jobs sucked by the way. They worked your ass off. Always moving, always on your feet. Even though i disliked paying union dues out of my already small paycheck, I walked away from it feeling if it wasn't for the unions, i would have had what piddly time for breaks and lunch i did have. One 10 min break and a 20 min lunch or something like that.


Yeah, you have a point there. I forgot about that.

Chicago's Posterboy.




The sterotype seems to be that all teachers are liberal hippies. Particuarly college professors.

You're okay Duci, I knew we were on the same page. People here don't seperate the gov't (white collar) unions Vs the the blue collar ones.

bah, too busy to post more.
