Union blues

Have to give a thank you to Senator Lugar and Congressman Souder for their no votes on HR 1, SanFranNan's massive spending bill. Now they can have fun with the automakers. Seems the UAW isn't giving the concessions needed to make the companies profitable. Didn't I warn about that back when the bailout for Detroit was being considered? How can any business pay former employees for not working? Pay for former employees health insurance? The list goes on.

The steelworkers' union was out marching around the courthouse last weekend. I think they thought that Souder and Lugar had offices there. Wrong courthouse boys. Lugar does not even have a local office. Interesting thing was the American flags, buy American, etc. type logos on their placards. I will make sure on this large building our company is putting up, non union steelworkers are employed. I promise the next vehicle I buy will be foreign. I promise to look for "made in the USA" logo on anything before I buy. If I think unions were involved in the manufacture, I will not buy. I promise to never support a union or buy anything union made.
