Indeed. Welcome to the barricades, Comrade Marty. Having worked for a union for 20 years…as rep, paid organiser, President, and now life member…I’ve been here quite a while. Latte?

Vic was the one here who has it right. The rebel call is just a group of control freaks wanting to replace the current control freaks.
