I learned the hard way that I am among the very small minority of pro-union advocates here, and that most of my arguments would fall on deaf ears. Or, in the case of 4X4, outright mocked (on that note, it'd be interesting to see how the moderators react. I'm guessing they won't).

Perhaps the anti-union crowd grudgingly acknowledges that unions are everywhere and it's inevitable that they would have to come across one in some form. Perhaps the anti-union crowd thus only rear their collective heads when said union is battling for improved working conditions or to prevent losing certain benefits they hold dear.

I merely wanted to point out to the anti-union crowd that if they feel so strongly about their mindset that they wanted to feel like they were making an impact, they could stop buying Heinz products. A simple change, you probably wouldn't even notice.

But no, it's more entertaining to belittle the guy posting the suggestion instead, isn't it? Hope that no matter what the rest of your day throws at you, you can sleep better tonight knowing you showed me.
