You cannot imagine my glee seeing the shiftless, methed out slackers who used to start at $15/hr begging for work at the day labor agencies. The great irony is that they rejected a deal that would have paid them well over the pittance that they now earn.<br /><br />Is this game available in English or Spanish? It would provide hilarity at the upcoming family reunion.Ken Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09422188798012989045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-2833625079164538922014-08-17T20:07:11.752-05:002014-08-17T20:07:11.752-05:00You find the coolest stuffYou find the coolest stuffBorepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-40603010268327279652014-08-17T15:37:41.000-05:002014-08-17T15:37:41.000-05:00Yeah, unions = Fail...Yeah, unions = Fail...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-9653667787119792722014-08-17T13:25:35.438-05:002014-08-17T13:25:35.438-05:00To quote my Father-in-law when asked, how many wor...To quote my Father-in-law when asked, how many worked at a major aircraft manufacturer we were both employed at, "About Half."

All of these would result in firing and eventual re-hiring with back-pay and seniority restored.<br /><br />Oh--and you'd have to make shoddy cars, too.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.com
