Sitting in the truck is a Teamster. The two masons (union) were not

inefficiency and public cost!!!


And that explains the attraction of unions to many. Lots of folks would
love to sit on their ass 7.5 hours a day and draw a union scale paycheck.
That's damned hard work, keeping that seat warm, don'tcha know....

I retired with 37 years in the Teamsters Union. I'd rather work eight hours
a day than sit around like that. Others prefer the sitting. It drives me
crazy. Funny thing, though. Care to guess who got pinkslipped first when
the job started to taper off?
