Talk about keeping folks in a box......shame shame shame........all for what???.......anyone???.....that's right--me me me....$$$$$$$$

It is too bad that the union folks will vote anyway the union tells them. It is for the union contracts. They have been doing this for decades. The unions are a big factor in the democratic party. The phone calls and the mailings don't surprise me. Years ago the unions use to use black mail. That was back in the GE and Alco days in Schenectady.

Blackmail is right.....an elderly gentleman that I was honored to take care of told me a story how he was threatened.....the union was trying to give him $30,000 to get his 'shop' to vote a certain way...he said no way.....they then tried to burn down his home on Goosehill.....tisk tisk tisk....shame shame shame......

Well, I guess the union has also lost a bit of it's punch....in Rotterdam anyways!! Thank God!
