The Democrats and some Republicans didn't like Americans so they made the decision to change Americans (fundamentally change some could say).

Demographics is destiny, but that has nothing to do with why we can't get a contract or how voting democrat will help.

That and the media gives a 10 point edge to the Democrats. In your heart of hearts who is dumber Biden or Palin? Would you know that from media coverage?
Isn't he a gem? Glad he's yours.

Our organizations more resemble the relationship between the NFL and the owners in many ways...indeed FAR more than we resemble SEIU.

As for the Bar and AMA and their lobbying efforts at all levels of government goes, what you don't know can fill libraries.

I'll ask again, as it cuts through your alphabet fog.

Did YOU openly support Teamsters trying to organize FDX?

SS Bob ...

What does any of this have to do with FedEx buying TNT? FedEx has NEVER pretended to be a union company. In fact, they brag about NOT being a union property.

... they even got their non-union employees to rally AGAINST the pilots getting a better contract!*?

I dunno, I'm just responding to Gunter who started up about Lanyardgate.

I suppose you thought you made some sort of useful point Sideshow.

Not really.
