    The only purpose of such a union would be to guarantee that quality tacos and pizza were available to all regardless of race, religion, creed, tattoos, cars, women, children, etc... Good tacos and pizza for everyone ... OR DEATH!!!:laugh:

    Then, if I'm the leader, do I get extra pepperoni in my pizza? ;P

      I was thinking more of the stereotypical union "worker" standing around 6 hours per day. :rolleyes: BW

        That's just asinine. would therefore require less labour than the traditional kind I'd think the union workers would embrace anything requiring less labor. ;) BW

        In my college days, I worked for UPS (United Parcel Service) and the Union there did little more for me there than take a cut of my money. The union dues were the same for part-timers as they were for full-timers ($31USD a month). Calculated up a person may no-call/no-show 27 days in a nine month period without getting fired. People in my section missed skipped every Friday for 2 months straight. Also, after 5 days straight of no-call/no-shows the company can then send a letter out sayinig that their job is terminated, HOWEVER, they may contact there union rep within another ten days to get there job back. This protects a union members job. If a union member does something against company policy a supervisor must have another union member as an eyewitness to get the alleged member fired. I've seen a full-timer worker watch a supervisor do a a part-timers job because supervisor's are not allowed to help unless a union member is watching and the full timer was not "allowed" to do it because he had too much seniority. All of these are things I saw from my short tenure at UPS from 2002-2003. Brett A. Whittington Application Developer
