It always strikes me as odd, as the UA employees here on FT seem to likely be those that care (or why read our rants?) and probably do a stellar job one would think they would like systems that rewarded excellence vs age. Though everyone seems to think without your big protector you'd be paid $5/hour and/or lose your jobs. I suppose the old saying is true:"If you repeat a lie often enough, eventually people will eventually accept it as truth"




I trust in those endeavors you were:
a) paid a wage commensurate to the amount of work required and your skill level
b) not forced to work unreasonable hours
c) provided a work area that was safe
and everyone's favorite:
d) not fired on some management guys "whim"

and best of all you got a-d for FREE! Just like everyone else and without threating to shutdown your employer or making a huge scene.
