[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 911326, member: 7966"] In politics and labor unions the [B]rank and file[/B] are the individual members of an organization, exclusive of its leadership. The phrase originated in the military, denoting the horizontal "ranks" and vertical "files" of individual foot-soldiers, exclusive of the noncommissioned officers. Red-circled -The practice of not increasing or not reducing the pay of an employee when their pay is more than that of other people doing the same job. These employees were circled with a red pen to easily identify. [/QUOTE]
