[TheForge] OT Union Rant (Was Re: concrete)

[Larry and Pat Brown]

Unfortunately people have very short memories. The distance between 
corporate head salaries and the workers wages grows by the minute, 
somewhere there will be a breaking point, but when or how will be seen. To 
work for NYC I am required to live in NYC, this a large company store 
policy instituted for cops and other essentials who are now exempt from it 
or can at least live in surrounding counties, where they can have a larger 
home and property and better schools. The rest of us have to sign a paper 
agreeing to immediate termination if we live outside the five boroughs. 
(financial, not mortal termination)
