So sorry. Thought it was a Roadway Express/Local 100 Teamsters advertising site. Didn't mean to poke your nest.

This post is a perfect example of what NOT to post in the Union forum.

JolliRoger, if you have something constructive to add to the discussion then by all means post it, if all you have to post is drivel like this, then it's best you don't post it because I can assure you that if this keeps up YOU will get a vacation from this site.

The bashing and #### slinging in this forum is going to stop one way or another.

There is a very good reason to hate unions. See if anyone can guess the reason.
