Does it not insult you guys to the point of real action to be played like that. It is the way business operates. We didn't HAVE to lose our pensions. But after US Air was the test balloon and the unions did nothing, the dominoes fell.
How much leverage do we really have?
We could shut down the transportation system of the largest economy in the world. Instead, we grovel for the scraps. How about a gut check and remember what this country was founded on- Independence and principles. While you're playing with your IPhone, watch Braveheart and at least admire courage.
