No offense intended, but you know the old saying. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. I am a Teamster myself, so I realize the struggle between labor and management to gain a fair workplace. It seems that organized labor has been getting the shaft for the past 20 years or more. What can we do? Unfortunatly, not much..... <br />The CEO's and stockholders control the destiny of ALL americans. This extends WAY beyond just the organized crafts too. It affects EVERYBODY! I used to be a staunch democrat until Clinton passed that *%@*^( NAFTA! Say goodbye to "Blue-Collar America", Soon the only thing american made you can find will be the cheeseburger at your local fast-food chain. <br /> Chapter two... What happens after the war in Iraq is done? I'm sure that we will be sending Billions, and Billions of U.S. Dollars into that country to "Rebuild" the Iraq "government". <br /> O.K. so then, we are spending MORE money over there to fix what THEY should have fixed 20 years ago, and meanwhile, I'll bet we will still be paying over 2 bucks a gallon for gas. <br /> Ten, or fifteen years from now, with our dollars, the country of Iraq will become the leader in exported manufactured goods. Don't believe me?, just look at history. look at the Pacific rim countries we helped out after WW-2. How many items in YOUR household were produced in the USA? Probably not many..... Tell me if I'm wrong, but I bet 95% of your electrical appliances came from either Korea, Japan, or China. Oh, yea, don't forget NAFTA, the rest are from Mexico. <br /> Sad times indeed for the United States. It's a real shame.
