[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3161727"] I hope you're right for the future of our kid's kid's. The percentage of members that care enough to vote isn't lending to optimism. I believe, from my experience, that the company's abusive habits will always breed union activism, even from the most docile worker who couldn't care less about who is GP. There will always be people who have witnessed stewards that literally put their jobs on the line to protect their fellow workers from abuse in the workplace and some of them will draw courage from those selfless coworkers called stewards and take up the mantle after the stewards retire. The reason that Ron Carey's name continuously floats to the surface is because he was one of those people that many of us on the front lines identify with and say "yeah Ron, poke em once for us" after he'd pull a strike at peak in NYC and we'd watch Kelly blow a gasket. Is today's competition parallel to the nineties? No. It isn't but you have to admire a man who didn't just beat his fist on a podium and cuss the Republicans. He told the company they were going to give us multiple thousands of 23-3 jobs and because we trusted him we stood on a strike line a little bit longer to back him up and today thousands of blue collar workers have full time work. No one is perfect in job execution but Ron was a man that typically did what he said and the company feared him to the uttermost. Those were the days. [/QUOTE]
