Nope. I'm all for the Arizona immigration law. If the US government can't or won't enforce its own laws that are still on the books, then the states OUGHT to enforce the laws, as far as their own border security is concerned.

You still don't understand my post. I'm not anti-union. I was a union member, UAW in fact, on my last decent-paying job. And I worked my azz off welding subassemblies for Ford Explorer frames, in a plant where temperatures often climbed to 130 degrees in the summertime, working 10 and 11-hour days. I not only showed up for work every day, I received the company's $500 annual attendance bonus FOUR TIMES in the 4-1/2 years I worked there. I would've still been there, but the company closed the plant in 2005 after deciding not to bid on Ford's next generation frame...and Ford was our ONLY customer at that plant. And I made the "ungodly" rate of $16.29 an hour by the time the plant closed. I was even a trustee in UAW Local 2347 for the final 6 months before we shut down.

So I'm just trying to pre-empt the arguments of the anti-union folks...I figure if I post everything anti-union I've seen posted on these boards from time to time, then these union-haters won't have to. And those of us who know what union work is REALLY like can read them, and see how foolish they really sound when you know the truth.

Better now?

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
