One last thing from me then I’m out (I think). Three different people referred to myself and others as narrow minded. It’s not narrow minded to take in all aspects of an issue. You guys are all so PRO UNION that you “can’t see the forest for the trees”. Unions do sone things good and sone things bad and sometimes had rather a business fold than actually prosper. In this case the union could be 100% right (I’m not sure). But I can assure that’s not always the case.



Don't mistake my support for the Brookwood coal miners as being, "so PRO UNION that you can't see the forest for the trees." I've done my share of addressing problems with union reps and leaders, but I won't air that dirty laundry here with folks who have no business hearing the details. I addressed it with the guilty parties to their faces.

My support is for the Brookwood miners themselves who are fighting for the benefits they deserve in return for their labor. They don't make cars or steel or do any of the other stuff mentioned here to accuse them of wrongdoing besides mining the coal they were hired to mine. All that other stuff is not their fault.
