      No, because when Kroger broke the union in California they really stuck it to the workers where I worked here in Oregon. They were really nasty about it, accusing the workers of a strike that cost them 30 million and that they had to cut wages and benefits to new employees to cover the loss. Thing is, we hadn't gone on strike. Kroger also fired hundreds of people, just in our area, just after Christmas. A friend of mine was among them. He was a recovering alchoholic that hadn't had a drink in a year. He had cleaned up and gotten the job to look after his ailing mother. Well, he was a good worker but he was fired. Went back on the bottle, don't know what happened to him, moved away. They accused them all of improper use of the discount card... but they were just cutting payroll because the busy holiday season was over. I don't work for them anymore.

            I'm very pro-life. Just not the way you mean. There are pro-life socialists, btw.

                I don't think anyone could accuse Stalin of having a heart. He outlawed abortion, you know.

                  Pro-life and socialism don't need to mix. They are separate subjects that one can have separate opinions on.

                    Most people wouldn't exactly describe Stalin as "pro-life" though.

                        Comrade in Chinese has become a slang term for calling someone gay.

                            eh, no. As a general rule an international union had/has locals in US and Canada only, NOT in Mexico, or Europe, or anywhere else.

                              Huh? Is that supposed to be amusing in some way? If so, it's insulting to those who are both black and Canadian. Very poor taste, KH.

                                I think KH was making fun of people who are ignorant of Canada, by not realizing the racial/ethnic diversity of Canada??
