If I remember correctly, they went on strike, too.

I always thought that was ironic.

So you'd bankrupt the union, threaten to rip up their contracts, take 50%+ off their pay, take their pensions and call it a day. But only for the line secretaries. The VPs pay would stay the same?

You're hired!

Uh... no... I think I have been perfectly clear about my disdain for how much the executive level at national gets. I have been met with the justifications of how they are away from home and need transportation and all that rot... Oh no... EVERYONE at national needs an adjustment.. starting at the top.

Like I said, I will personally drive Lee's car to DC on my days off to save us from having to lease one while he is there...

I get the feeling that:

1.) Lee would get more than an earful from you, &

2.) He would never get to where he wanted to go because you would always be trying to steer towards Capitol Hill and/or the White House to finish what you had to say.
