I have not had a raise in 4 years. My company has had 2 rounds of layoffs and ascattering of terminations. That's the real world, not the fantasy land of unionized workers. This union's leadership does its members a grave disservice - Fire them allAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736748953868699846.post-4900533479290781822009-11-04T17:54:16.899-05:002009-11-04T17:54:16.899-05:00hell yes.
