Millions of people that belong to unions do. And when they do not work with a contract they strike, get locked out by management or threaten to walk off their jobs. You claim to be from Chicago, the CTA threatened the same thing about a month or two ago (walk off their job) for similar reasons that the Minor League umpires have walked off their job. Or what about the numerous teacher's strikes or threats of strikes in this area the past 4 or 5 years (Proviso and Downers Grove school districts just to name two)? I guess those facts just seem to be missed by the likes of you. Oh well, what else is new.

Peace
