| #8 Oh, how I loved being given instruction on how to behave in the paste up room at the newspaper. Hands in pockets. If I touched anything it could trigger a grievance from the pressmen's union. |

| #7 Why people don't have conferences with a normal slide show in Philadelphia because of union rules? Come to McCormick Place in Chicago and try to plug in an extension cord or power strip to a a wall or floor outlet. |

| #4 Wonder why GM builds 70% of its cars in China? Why businesses went to Mexico? Why people don't have conferences with a normal slide show in Philadelphia because of union rules? Why fast-food joints are going to automated kiosks versus paying $15/hour? We do it to ourselves. |

| #3 Big Labor™ at its ugliest: "Hey, UPS, give us all we want or we will bankrupt you like Yellow!" ...Of course all the employees at the defunct company are just 'collateral damage'. IMO, Big Labor™ is just as rapacious and evil as Big Business™ except that the union management doesn't seem to care how many dues paying workers they deny a payroll to with their tactics ...the management has a business to run and products it has to sell. |
