Now (he said) there's three, the owners, the workers, and the unions. He believed 'the unions' (he was certainly speaking to the Teamsters union) were working for themselves and a leech. As he walked away he said something like 'long live the workers'

Very entertaining.

So, it's bad that the unions will even let a scabby truck driver join? Anecdotal and biased pete. Didja talk to the union rep? Where was he?
