The world isn't necessarily the way you see it Harold

Mark Rand
RTFM

Indeed it is not, and I, too, have experienced injustices at shops that were
not unionized. I worked for one shop foremen that resented me, and would
go far out of their way to abuse me in many ways, including not asking me to
work overtime when others, even with less experience and capabilities, were
asked on a regular basis. Keep in mind this was early, when I was in need
of added income.

The treatment I received at the hands of such people were very instrumental
in my becoming self employed. I was more than qualified to work in my
selected trade, and once past the introduction stage, where I was trying to
get established, I never looked back.

Your story is a tough one, Mark, and you have my sympathy. I can
understand, from your perspective, where you feel you need the protection of
a union. Fact is, it's shameful.

I beat my case by being self employed. Perhaps you can't exercise that
option in your chosen profession. All the more pity.

Harold
