pad their own pension and health funds as usual with the hourly cut.


The letter started out demanding that the workers get paid according to
numbers that weren't in the letter. I'm OK with that.

Then it demanded funds for health insurance. I was OK with that,
too--until I started thinking: health insurance that costs nearly ten
dollars per HOUR?

Then the other demands: ONE-THIRD of the wages into various Union funds.
Sorry, I am NOT OK with that.
