I used to work there. It was painful all right.

Or, as some of us say, "Reality"

that would be interesting but i don't think it would work for me. I like girls too much. one of each please.. is there a name for that??? Polyamory

What I am concerned about is that the current crop of Unionites seem to think that because they decided to put their efforts into bargaining for increased wages, better working conditions, etc that they then somehow get the "right" to charge other people for their efforts. It is an outrageous arguement that "because you benefit from my (voluntary) efforts, I get to charge you (against your will)" Parenthetical items are the obviously unstated truths underlying what self-rightious Union people say.

Were you doing his girlfriend while he was entertaining himself thusly?

I'm thinking that fart sniffer is worse.

I didn't read any of that. Anyone else?

They looked just like any other Nova Scotia kids.

The deal sweetens. So, what you are saying is that the benefit of having 2% of your paycheck taken from you is that you get to pay an atty for doing nothing (little factiod: having someone on retainer does not mean "free") So if it isn't rocket science, why pay an atty? Why need people to represent you? Are union workers that stupid? As a contractor, I had to agree to contracts with every job. You are right, it wasn't rocket science.

Yes pretty much everywhere. It didn't used to be that way but people were so woefully underpaid and overworked that they've all opted to unionize over the years. In many cases wages went up 40- 50% and no one's gone out of business over it. Wow, no company has gone out of business after it was unionized? Amazing. All my history books are wrong. All my Professors were wrong. Silly fools.

Nope. And the idea that union people (apparently) have that any atty is "free" just adds to the whole bullshit lawsuit crap. Sad. Oh, and, you always have the option of Pro Se representation. Free.

That which does not kill you Was a tactical error

Just so that people are not mislead: Everyone has access to representation in case of dismissal or discipline or anything else. You do not have to have anything to do with any union for that. This is a "benefit" we all have as Americans and do not have to pay extra for it by joining a union.

and matching victorian hairdo.

Gyms are a great place to put bolts though, and a great place to do "practice climbing". Ive actually seen trash cans in them too, and you can even push and climb hard in them. I like gyms. Gyms aren't mountains though. I went into a climbing gym once. I got out right before I vomited. But to each his own. What I think this article neglects to mention is what impact other outdoor seekers have on the place. Chubby suburbanites leaving wrappers around. Hikers wandering off trail. All that kind of stuff. I don't know for sure, but I swear that people have become more inconsiderate over time. They are more removed from the outdoors, less in touch with nature, and therefore less concerned about their impact on it. I don't think this is limited to or focused around climbers. I think it's just cool right now in the media to write about climbing and climbers.

No kidding. What a waste. They should at least have put the head on a stake to warn other little kiddies away.

must hang to the right I guess

Question refinement: How much did your wages go up as a direct result of union efforts and sucess?

no no no *your* units are wrong

no, *YOUR* units are wrong.

Hey, better than that, it shows the "gym rat" mind set.

no no no. stewardship.

Right. Got it. Thanks.
