You're all right, you're all wrong, everything is true and false at the same time to some degree.

Doesn't it hurt? To be straddling the fence like that?

Only if there's barbed wire involved.

All I can say is that everytime I pass the CBS, WB and Disney strikers I think the same thing: "Not a good-looking one in the bunch." Call me shallow but, hey, we all see what we want to see or don't see.
:D

Hey now, to be fair, you might not be going by when the right group is there. I know some of the guys in that picket group. And they were makin a big deal about being out there shirtless.
And I know, that means nothing, but I got pics. Although they don't sway my way, there were good looking ones in the bunch.

:)Do you really think what I said was incorrect?Some companies strive for excellence in their employees, some look for inexpensive yet crappy labor. Some unions do great work, some are extorionists. Some strikers deserve to be canned, some are pleading for fair treatment.

Fences are artifice
placed and valued by individual perception
created to divide
ostracize
dehumanize
obscure the other side
casting shadows on anything not me
so I wherever I stand shines all the brighter

My father worked for IBM for over 30 years. While he was there they were never unionized. (I have no idea if they are now.) One of the reasons was that they paid very high wages and benefits for the industry, and had a reputation of loyalty to their workers. Employees weren't interested in unionizing because there was no advantage - they didn't need it.

Amazing how productive a happy, well cared for workforce can be. :)

Um, and when do we see said pics of good looking shirtless picketers??? :D

In concept I have no problem with Unions, but in practice they seem as corrupt as they claim the corporations to be. Like all organizations they are self serving, and you benefit only if your values align.

I don't watch ANY TV, so I don't care. I just hope Gemini Crickets gets offered his job back (not that he'd take it).

I'm just glad all of those that have been out of work can get back to their jobs, if they have on left that is....
