Thumbing through the March 10th Times at my dentists office
this morning, happened across this tidbit from an article by
Joe Klein discussing middle class voters in Ohio:

--------
"This income gap is the biggest issue for me," Bob Currens,
a Republican painting contractor who was thinking about
voting Democratic - for Obama - for the first time, told me
after the church service. His wife Kim joined us and said
Bob had been a salaried worker at AK Steel, "and the union
was a big problem there. They worked at not working."
Eventually there was a lockout - and AK Steel reorganized
itself as a nonunion shop. "They're making big profits now,"
Bob said. "You wonder why there can't be some middle ground"
between the old-fashioned inflexible union and "the CEOs
selling out these companies, shipping jobs overseas."
--------


Of course, Ron will likely point out the top guys are making
too much money. Maybe so, but they saved the company, and
the workers still have jobs. Well, maybe not the former
union workers, but still, American workers. Jobs NOT sent
overseas.

Question: Would the dinosaurs still be alive if they had a
union? G
