[QUOTE="Atomic_Smurf, post: 1390283, member: 46684"] I understand your chest thumping support of our union as I once felt the same way. Today my support is a bit more rational & less emotional. There's no question that without the strength & solidarity of this union we would not enjoy the wages & benefits that we earn. Nobody is arguing otherwise. I'm also under no illusion that our union today is choosing to support the interests of liberals in Washington OVER the interests of dues paying members. As I've said before, the freeloaders of today are sitting in the IBT office living large off our labor, taking in huge salaries, only to sell out more & more of the benefits we earn to Washington liberals. They have become worse than any scab. More like a flesh eating bacteria that can only be cured by severing the infected areas completely, not for the purpose of self destruction but for self preservation. Our union is destroying itself from within by embracing the lefts politics of division. [/QUOTE]
