4. Teamster's Union 1977-1980
I worked on a shipping floor - good union job.

Left to go back to school (kinda) - it took me until 1994 to earn again (per hour) what I made in 1980.

I support unions - big time.

The oldest Maritime Union.

They used to be the most powerful too. But that was back when Nixon and Carter were President.

Drunks, idiots, and member apathy have taken their toll.

19. I am not a union member
Nor have I ever been one, but my father, who passed away three weeks ago was a longtime member of IBEW local 145 and a proud liberal. So I'm posting in his honor.

Happy Labor Day, Pop.
