[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1180824, member: 11246"] This is true. However, BC isn't the 'be-all end-all' for everything Brown. We have the Stewards. We have our elected officials. We have the Union hall. We have the Union meetings. We have the Union bulletin board. We have the handouts. We all have the power to educate ourselves thru the many avenues available to us. It goes the same way as retirement planning. Some are happy with the prospect of getting a yet to be determined defined pension upon retirement. Some are happy with the prospect of getting a yet to be determined defined pension upon retirement and putting in a small percent into a 401k, not knowing what fund they are in, what the fee's are or any information on the fund/funds. Once someone realizes that they have some control over their destiny, then they will be more interested in self educating themselves thru all the means available. For now, as the vote shows, it is much easier to not educate ourselves, but b!tch about the ramifications of not getting educated and exercising our right to help point our future into a direction we feel comfortable with. Never stop learning. Not directed to you 407, just a bit of rambling stemming from a conversation from last nights dinner. [/QUOTE]
