Our old lanyards has some logo on it with "310". Never noticed before.
Maybe SEIU has been with us the whole time

Are there ANY elected Republican leaders who would back us? Seems to me that they'd be the first to go after us. This is a WAR people. You might not like SEIU, just like we did not like Stalin in World War 2, but we need all the allies we can get, as in this war we are more like a small European country up against the 3rd Reich than we are the U.S. or USSR.
You might not like the SEIU, but, like it or not, in this battle, they've got our back a heck of a lot more than any Tea Party politician does.

So put on the new lanyard, like it or not, cover it or not. Jeez, this issue is not at the top of the agenda.

Mines in the trash...Check this out......
"One of the nation's largest labor unions, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), is promoting a plan that will centralize all retirement plans for American workers, including private 401(k) plans, under one new "retirement system" for the United States.
In effect, government pensions for everyone, not unlike the European system and regardless of personal choice.
"The SEIU, which was integral to the election of Barack Obama as president, is working with the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute (EPI), and the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, on SEIU's plan, called "the Retirement USA Initiative."

I have very special and rare unicorn crapping skittles lanyards for sale with a special hope/change spell inscribed on them. This is the magic we really need and I am prepared to offer them for just ten US dollars each, probably less than you pay for the official version.

6 pages of posts discussing this.
The message should be clear to the union leadership.
They screwed up and should not repeat this fiasco again.

I can order them from China and deliver most quickly. It will show you are ready to do the little things because unity is 51-60% on the average contract. Act now before it is too late!

IPA and FDX ALPA will to at least some degree be in the same fight...we can either lift each other up or bring each other down a helluva lot more than SEIU, who would NOT honor either of our picket lines and won't offer us ANY help.
