Got an e-mail from my old friend Jesus, a retired dude in Vegas.
He thinks that union workers are near the bottom rung socially and economically these days.
Jesus tells me that this image of unionized automobile workers in their glory days past of great wages and benefits is the false union image the whining employers are trying to sell to other points on the population spectrum at the moment.
Then Jesus told me a story, a parable or actually a joke. Jesus has a great sense of humor IMHO.
A unionized public employee, a teabagger and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the teabagger and says, "watch out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie."(anonymous)I got the joke the first time round. Jesus says that a lot of people in America just don't get the joke or see the humor or the injustice of it all.
Oh well. Maybe Jesus can come up with a better joke in his next e-mail to me.
Have a nice day.
