21. Our librarians are Teamsters, which I think is awesome
When I think of Teamsters, I think of my grandfather, a tough, stocky little Irishman working on the loading docks. He'd get a kick out of being a brother to the quiet young woman with John Lennon glasses at the circulation desk!

22. THUG! GOON! COMMIE!
Kidding. My wife is a card-carrying member of SEIU Local 1984, my grandfather was a Teamster, and my father-in-law a member of APWU.

24. I worked at UPS for three years
pay wasn't the greatest, but thanks to the union it was at least decent, and working conditions were pretty good, and I got free health insurance. Which I needed at the time. :)
