Now your just blowing smoke out your a** to sound smart. Sometimes you have to consider the source. He was "blackballed" out of his union. Do you expect him to pay dues also? He more than likely contributed to this pension. I would have to read their contract to be totally accurate, but I have dealt enough with different unions to know what flies and what doesn't. I've worked enough arbitration and EEOC complaints to tell what is what.

I usually didn't deal with the inner working of the unions themselves, but I knew a good grievance or EEO complaint when I saw one. They usually went hand in hand.

I wonder what Thurman Munson's widow gets a year? I'd bet is is less than a quarter of what Lidle is getting. The union has strengthened to say the least. I was merely pointing out how the MLBPA as strong as it has become was making sure that is family was provided for. Non-member or not. Not all unions are this powerful, but they all not the evil monsters they make them out to be.
You apparently can't read. I said the law allows for it, I didn't say it made it mandatory. Both mbyron and I have given you examples with which we have first hand knowledge. I am willing to bet that the players union also takes advantage of this law.

But, regardless, you, with your tasteless effort to promote your politics. your lack of ability to understand English and your contempt for facts, have earned a spot on a special list. I don't find the entertainment value in arguing with you that SDS and BU do. See ya.
