Tick.....Tick......Tick

In less than an hour I have to be out of here and on the Picket Line. Do I really want to go out? No, but I and many others feel like we are being short changed. We are ok with what we had in the last contract. All we ask is that things remain the same. Crying poor, and then posting record profits don't really cut the mustard. We're the ones out in the rain, in the cold, the heat, the Mosquitos. Just because they can't see past their quarterly earnings statement, don't take out of my pocket.

I will walk out, join the line, and stand up for what I believe in. Who gets hurt in all of this? Me, and I know that. My family will suffer too. The thing is sometimes you have to stand up for something. Look around you, how many family wage jobs are really left in this country? We won WWII because of our manufacturing capablity, not because of tactics. We were able to mass produce tanks, ships, guns, and etc. We don't have that capability anymore....but China does.

Think about that, the next time you walk into Wal-Mart.

Time is slowly ticking away, it's getting down to the wire. I am given no choice. This is what they have driven us to do.


I'll be back when I can.................
