My husband used to be a dock supervisor (management, non-union) for a trucking company. He dealt, naturally, with Teamsters. One of the Teamsters came to work one day and shot the shop steward. He *wasn't* fired. Apparently, there's nothing in their contract about shooting other Teamsters.

The other things that were in the contract were both astounding and appalling.

Anybody else out there getting paid day off because it's your birthday?????

Ok, lets remove unions and see what happens...
