    I think that an average person in Michigan would understand the statement just fine.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      I'm glad someone does. Elsewise, it'd be jibberish.

        Ah, so you're just corrupt and trying to deploy the smoke and mirrors.

        I don't know how you can defend what you see in this video unless you don't see a problem with it. The fact that you are president of your union, I can see why you see no problem with it.

          Why do I know so much more about unions than you do?

          Most unions have some person (usually a "leadership" person) whose responsibility it is to ensure the union is well-employed. At Calgary Transit (our local transit authority), this position involves lobbying that the city must buy large fuel-inefficient busses for low-traffic routes when small shuttle busses make most sense (but whose drivers are not unionized).

            If I went out and tried to bring in more work for my already overworked people, I'd be lynched!

              Hey, if Ford has to come up with incentive programs to have its employees actually show up to work, obviously they aren't that overworked.

                Sounds like the ones that show up are overworked...

                ... more like, sounds like they're over-vacationed.

                  No one in that story is overworked.

                    By union standards, I'm sure they are.

                        ...and then compare this to what Ross Perot observed when he joined the board of Crysler.

                          Is that your version of "Bill Clinton did it too" that Republicans raised early in the W. Bush Administration?
