My first job of the day is with the Teamsters. UPS.
After nearly 11 years I've learned several things. One is the magnificent quote from John Milton in his Paradise Lost:
The only problem with my co-workers is I go into my own world and world harder than they. I make them look bad. Not all the time, but generally.
I thought of that while reading this accurate put-down of unions by talk meister Neal Boortz:
After nearly 11 years I've learned several things. One is the magnificent quote from John Milton in his Paradise Lost:
I could be like most and piss and moan about the time of day, the amount of work. Instead, I put in the earbuds fed by the iPod such podcasts as Mark Levn's, the BBC NewsPod, the NYT Frontpage and Book Review, Town Hall columnists, IBD Editorials, Moby Dick audiobook, various audiobooks, Noahide Nations, Hand Gun Podcast, BJ Harrison's Classical Tales, American Conservative Union, the Cato Daily, and the like. It's like receiving my master's degree.The mind is its own place and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.

...but the fact is that when you want something done efficiently and effectively, you do not go to unions to get the job done. It's as simple as that.
That's a lesson I learned long ago, as you well know.
Unions served their purposes long ago. Those purposes no longer exist, for the most part. (About the only exception I can think of is the United Mine Workers. Those guys need all the protection and help they can get.)
