^^I've heard unions have pretty good pensions. I've never worked union though so I have a pretty strong 401k going thru my employer. If Fred Thompson say's he can really fix the social security problem though then I'm voting for him.

Central States Pension Fund(, I think I remember their name right, (Teamsters) was probably the most crooked Fund in the Country.

The company will hire temporary employees or go through a temp agency. Some of the workers will cross the picket line too.

I made the delivery for the union driver. I was a temp. He left his truck on the street and I backed it in. Good money, but a lot of harassment.
