    I think unions are the opposite of a free market Ted :)

    Rather, they are opposing free market businessmen in their efforts to get more profit, mostly at the expense of workers.

    That is the idea, is it not?

    Ever wonder why the Teamster's Union has a horse as a mascot?

    It's the only animal that can sleep standing up.

    Queen is unhappy!
    (I suppose her knights should organize a union to protect themselves from her wrath.)

    Nope. Never happen. The Queen rules over a Right to Work state. Imperialism and all that.

    Re: Work/job thread....

    Life is good. They let me work only 8 hours a day as long as my skunk toe is busted. The bad news is that it's going to heal before the temporary seasonal work runs out so I'm going to have to break something else to stay at an 8 hour shift and not go to a 12 hour workday.

    Also, besides Serg, the most joyful russian I know of was Nikolai Volkov, the russian bear from the AWA, many, many years ago when I was a kid. His role was always the heel because he's russian and he was huge and menacing but fun-loving and joking around when not working.
