My grandfather spent time in Leavenworth for being a Trade Unionist!
He had to get a Presidential Pardon to get out.
Guess I have a way to go to fill those shoes.

Pierce —- First — hope your Christmas was as relaxing, joyful, and rejuvenating as mine was (now is that a compliment or not :) Secondly, thanks for the mention here —- unions have their problems, as does any organization structure, but the core issue for the union in this case is not the $20 million which when you spread that out over 33,000 workers for 3 work years at 1800+ hours per year is chump change but the future ability of the union to be a union for all members.
