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

Only if there's barbed wire involved.

Yeah, but the line has been around for much longer than that.

: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?

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.
