[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 793506, member: 6713"] Been there done it and got the T-shirt. I was in a USWA negociation many years ago and the companies first offer was better than what we were going to ask for. I opened my mouth and said let's take it and go home. They(First VP of the Steelworkers) says "Son yer just not cut out to be a Union president". My reply was maybe if we leave them a little we won't be out of a job this time next year. We hung in there and raped them for every penny and I was out of a job 4 months later and the company was bankrupt.......I know about greed...The union taught me! I also know about Robber Barons. I was born less than 60 miles from the "Ludlow Massacre" [/QUOTE]
