Correct, it is about opinion and I accept all as long as they are presented that way. You stated that some here were afraid of the truth. I am not. I would like to see some proof that your statement regarding a fix in FLA is the truth. If you can provide this I will retract any statement that I made that might have offended you, although I am not sure which statement that would be. Have a good one. TH

Flap ~ for anyone still questioning whether or not the ballot was used in other counties or was against state statutes... according to the former Deputy Attorney General of Florida, George Sheldon, it was used only in that county and was clearly against the statutes of the state.

flapjack: I have supervised union workers starting out with my first job out of college (teamsters). Eventually managed pipefitters and other trades. Performed estimating and project management for large construction and demolition projects for years. The rule in estimating was: figure out how many man hours were required to perform a certain task. If using union workers multiply number of hours by 1.25 to 1.5 (1.25 only if you knew the local and through experience you knew they were somewhat productive). The other correlation I noticed: union workers with a strong work ethic were not looked upon favorably by their brethren. The really good ones start their own companies, and try like hell to remain independent.
