    When do I talk about intrusion? How does this remotely qualify as intrusion?

    Who are those donors? What do they do for the state? How does helping them hurt Tennesseans?

    As I said, you're making it up.

    Who are anti union campaign donors? Do you think these mysterious individuals give 1/100th of what the actual unions give? I'll hang up and listen.

    The conservative gang bang is well under way. The governor and good senator are fighting unions out of their love of the average blue collar worker. So noble.

    And unions are fighting out of their love of the average blue color worker?

    Yeah, the insincere portrayal of intentions certainly isn't exclusive.

    What did welcoming unions help Detroit? Cleveland? Pittsburgh? Flint?

    Unions are good for one thing: unions.

    Not business, and not its members.

    When has a union helped the average blue collar worker in the past twenty years?

    Why in the hell is the blue collar worker the only one in the debate?

    Passing this off as conservatives with the problem as your lone point has been that the lone people of interest in this are blue collar workers. Damn, those conservatives are crazy, not building everything around people you find more important than everyone else.

    Do I attempt to respond to 5 people at once?

    No real need. You've actually avoided responding now for a few days.

    These are the busiest days for me, usually work 16 hours. I should join a union.

    Wait til that university gravy train rolls in. Tenure forever.

    They hardly hire tenure track now.

    I have tenure. Here lately, I wish I only had to work 16 hours/day. I put in a minimum of 11-12 with the over being 18. Add in those hours & make it 6 sometimes 7 days/week and it gets long in a hurry. It's been exceptionally rewarding but extremely tiring with an addition of unacceptable levels of pain to boot. But, I'll keep going. I'm either too stubborn or too stupid to stop. Probably a combination of both truth be told.

    I still want to know why it is a benefit to the average worker given their history of enrolment and the most likely outcome to the endgame.

    I'm not against people looking to unionization, but unions have almost gotten to the points of being leaches for themselves in the name of the worker. They move from industry to industry sucking it dry, till they're looking for their next host.

    The truth is without a foothold in the south their outlook is very bleak.

    I'm just busting chops there. Tenure is an awful idea for those who care about teaching and quality. It's for those unwilling to better the / their craft.

    People willing to above and beyond any description to get the job done correctly likely abhor modern unions.

    That's why we should coach cross country. That's the low hanging fruit

    I know. It's cool. Somebody has to take the bait or you'll get bored. I don't want that because I like having you around, thus; I'll bite.
