LOL .... Doug as you may or may not know my avitar is the sign of the UA .. United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters of the USA and Canada. Yes its a Union Labor Organization ... you may say UHHHHH lazy, over paid ..bla bla bla ... My family have been Plumbers or Pipefitters for four Generations. I have seen the Politicians sell us out time and time again in one the the greatest cities on earth ..New York .. what do you think the Trade Center was ? Bush knew we were going to get attacked .. I was working across the street in 91 when they tried the first time .. if thats not a sell out I dont know what is ?

Funny our Company name bears the name " Joseph " The Plumber ... I was contacted by channel 7 news and quoted as saying " No matter who wins, if they dont fix what the white collar worker created ... the are going to have a half million Joe The Plumbers banging on Washingtons door for a job".

Its very simple .. the blue collar labor has to take back Washington .. I made my adjustment about 6 years ago ..I cut my company from 80 men to 25 .. I dont take jobs where the margins are marginally profitable .. I dont let young hot shot number crunchers talk me out of profits for extra work ... otherwise I walk away. I dont take work to keep the machine oiled .. this is the way white collar workers bring down Labor.

I own my company and I am labor.

The key is we need to run our businesses more efficient, with focus on time and waste. As we did with drugs and drinking and driving we need to teach our Children values and ethics of work and eventually it will filter up ... the problem is OUR COLLEGES are teaching our young against Unions ... which is out greatest representation of Organized Labor.
