Yes, I agree Kendall except I allow it might be worse.

But the bad things about the unions are that they have to try to codify, blind, things that could be better decided by attention and knowledge. If only that was the real alternative, but it generally isn't. I've wound up measuring out my efforts rather guardedly, like many a teamster, because some co-workers are content to let you carry their weight. And if you work your hardest when you feel okay, there's no help for you when you happen to be under the weather. In many ways it was a good job, where you can see the purpose of your efforts, get a good hard workout, have fun busting your butt--yet it gets spoiled, and it's a shame. I'm going to miss those things the vampire humor--things are funny at 3 in the morning that aren't in daylight hours.

Again, it goes back to the fact that people who should never have been hired in the first place were hired, because the supervisors get bonuses for numbers, blindly. And anyway if it weren't for the union, there certainly wouldn't be the health insurance for part-timers, which is the only reason I was there at all. That counterbalances any criticism I have, by a good measure.

Thanks Amos.
