I have a very specific skills and can get a job any place. I can make this kind of money with the skills I have at another co. I like working for AAM. I like my enviroment and the friends I have. I take pride in what I do. I like my boss and work hard to produce good products. Yes I could be replaced by a worker in China but will fight to the end to keep my job here. Solidarity matters ! Unions matter ! DID AMERICANS FORGET WHY WE HAVE UNIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE? EVERYONE WHO IS IN ANY KIND OF UNION SHOULD WALK THE PICKET LINE. WE MUST STICK TOGETHER. When my unemployment runs out who will even care, not AAM. AAM will lose many great tradesmen if the strike isnt settled. I have a very specific skills and can get a job any place.

It has been a long 2 years and we came out victorious! With time, we hope to show those who opposed the Union that ILWU means "I Like Working Union!" Some managers at Rite Aid are acting like sore losers...poor babies! They brought it on themselves by treating us like garbage, and they are now showing everybody that we were right! Even my 17 year old daughter asked me (when I was telling my wife about their recent attitudes), "Why are they having a temper tantrum?" Now I hear that THEY are afraid of who Corporate is going to blame for the Union winning the election...someone's bound to get the axe. It's a new era here!!!! RIGHT ON!!!

Scabs have started to cross the picket line. There is nothing american when american scabs try to crush what the unions are trying to protect. They are coming in from other states and should be stopped! These people have no care for others and are cruel and ignorant. How would they like to have their jobs taken away. Scabs are worse than a thief in the night. They slide in like snakes and slither out. They are low life losers that cant hold a job anyways. They should be stoned at the gate like criminals.
