They are sadly a bunch of racist/ sexist pigs. sheshe2 Feb 2017 #12
Yep, nothing ever happened to Melania. And BTW, where are her papers? Did she ever share them? nt iluvtennis Feb 2017 #14

were jobs on assembly lines and in coal mines. I'm retired, but those are not the jobs I want my grandchildren to have.

With the rank and file.

It began with their capitulation to Reagan when PATCH walked. Once Lorenzo and company broke the airline unions the leadership went into defensive mode a la "third way"

I have been an active member since May 1986 and have seen the gap become a chasm.

I'll retire next month. I'm burnt out.
