[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 565281, member: 56140"] Rocco, You seem to put exactly what I am thinking into words. Some people just do get a union. They just can't, or maybe choose, to understand how it works. If we walked into our employers office and demanded $50.00/hr and got it, I could understand. We take losses to get gains. We negotiate a lower wage for better health benefits. We take a higher wage for lower benefits. We work some holidays, for the record, I get 5 paid holidays during the year and the other 6 are between Christmas and New Year's day. We negotiated those days. The union and our employer came to an agreement with that. OPEC comes into no agreement with its customer. We, as a union, have a customer. That customer is our employer. We sell a service, and they pay us for that service. OPEC says oil will cost xx.xx and that is the way it is going to be. Buy it or go without. It is up to you. Tom [/QUOTE]
