Here's how I see it. If I were to try and charge my customers a union wage for my guys work, I would be in business for about another year and that's it, I would probably lose most of my work. The 37th year would be it. The work would then move to another business that was charging a lower, possibly more fair wage. I think that's what is happening on a larger scale when people unfortunately lose their manufacturing jobs and the jobs go somewhere else. You have to charge a fair wage for what you do and produce, otherwise someone else will do it for less. I've know several UAW workers with no education blow smoke in my guys face and tell them how great they are and how much money they make. I told my guys that it won't last forever, go ahead and try to get a job there if you want. Those other guys have no job now, and I still pay my guys every week. Sorry, but my 2 cents. I've been disgruntled ever since a union laborer yelled at me when I picked up a broom to help him 15 years ago. That's not how I was raised.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
