1. Sounds about par

What are the specifics?

2. Just a stated.

A rival union is making a raid (with a sweetheart contract, their specialty for their 50+ years of existence) on my union. If you're in the area and interested in supporting true union principles, contact either port branch offices for details. And feel free to mention my name, Paul Norman.

And PLEASE recommend this OP!

4. No physical or financial pain.

I've been retired since 2000. But I've been hyper-active on the various Union discussion groups.

There is no labor movement in any other major nation but here. where raiding other unions is an acceptable tactic. This is one of the legacies of Samuel Gompers!
