    There's that good old union mentality, "If people don't do what we want, we have the right to break the law." That doesn't make them right, it makes them criminal thugs. Then they wonder why people don't like them and don't care about their picket lines.

    Lets be clear: I have no intent to change your mind or anyone's. You won't change mine so there is no need to repeat the anti union blah,blah,blah.

    Nor the pro Union blah,blah,blah. I would cross it again in the same situation. Strikes over, everyone is back to work. Lets hope there is no retaliation over free health care from people who make $30+ an hour. I doubt there will be. This wasn't a coal mine with a company store, and workers living in company housing paid with company script.

    Maybe not, However if the rank and file quit fighting for fair wages and treatment we may all someday be right back to the days of the "company store",....

    Sorry, I wasn't aware it was an old thread. It was up top on the board so I figured it was current. To answer your question I took a break after 4 years in the Marines and went home to Washington State and worked as a Police Officer. Did that for three years and returned to the Corps for the balance of my 20, got dinged on an op and retired. As far as getting what I deserve, removed by moderator.

    Locally they need to pick their battles better. Even your "Union Brothers" crossed that line.

    In the information age we have the ability to choose who and what we support. To do otherwise and simply line up to the party line is irresponsible. This was over the top of "fair". It was greed.

    I notice that neither of you hero's have much posted in your profiles?
    I live in Fredericksburg Virginia, I spend most of my time at the range (6A) at Quantico, or the Marine Corps League just outside the main gate. Surely you get down 95 on occasion. Stop in, seriously. I'd love to show you around. Maybe see the new Marine Corps Museum, or tour the ranges.
