   Never claimed to know knowing ALL about the union. I have read enough to form   
   a general opinion.

   I just wanted you to admit there were good non-union companies out there.  I   
   knew you would not pass up an invitation to "prove me wrong" and take another   
   cheepshot.

   So some union members are treated special. Shoots to hell my idea that union   
   rules apply to all members equally.

    It shows  I'm smart enough to walk way from a dangerous situation.   
   Looking out for yourself doesn't mean you don't care about others.   
   It's not the same thing.

   What part of "sound exactly like" is hard for you?   
   I didn't say it came from a union blog, but thanks for verifying you   
   sound like a union blog. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
