Thank you for the interesting read. I've always thought auto labor unions, and all unions in general, have overstayed their usefulness and morphed into greedy alliances interested in making a profit for themselves and not the mutual best interests of the employees and their companies.

I do apologize to all for somewhat hijacking the thread. I hope to hear more interesting stories about the stories behind the user names.
