"Unions are what saved the working class from slavery and existing like peasants. You can thank Unions for a living wage, a 40 hour work week, health insurance and paid vacations...all things employees have come to expect. And, they should."
Unions had their place in time, as did many things. Past achievements do not make them relevant today.
Slavery of blacks is what allowed the creation of large-scale agriculure in much of this country - yet we are not allowing it today.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
