The problem is union leadership, period. Once "voted" into office, these people are never seen again until the next election. Same bull$hit every election, "vote for me and I'll visit regularly to keep you informed and voice your concerns." In the past ten years we have seen our "elected" representatives, maybe, 15 times. No leadership = no cohesiveness = no union. Blame whoever you like, but bottom like, just as with Verizon, all of the union's problems start at the top.

Fun week coming up.....Union fakes a hard line while conpany fakes weakness by staying silent. Right then a contract will appear out of nowhere. Union will say "You should have seen what they wanted!" Company agrees to appear defeated for the union to save face. This concession is the ONLY one the union recieves. BANK ON IT.

1ldw you nailed these uncaring f---ers and they don't like it it. Referring to each other as brother and sister when in reality they don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. Disgustingly sanctimonious when berating the company when they themselves are such vermin. They, in reality don't give a damn about their fallen Union "brothers and sisters." True the company is no better, but put your own house in order before criticizing the company.Again, you nailed 'em.

Throwing Christians to the Lions: Fact and Legend

The persecution of Christians by the Roman Government was not a consistent policy that was enforced the same way by every Roman provincial governor or government official or even by different emperors. Most of the time, Christians were tolerated but were viewed as strange and somewhat antisocial by most of the Roman people.

Because the Roman gods were actually a part of the state religion, and it was thought that they must be worshipped regularly in order for the Romans to have victory in war and prosperity at home, it was considered a roman's patriotic duty to sacrifice regularly to Jupiter, Mars, Juno, Vesta, and leave offerings out for the household gods, the Lares and Penates. The Christians, on the other hand, believed in one God and worship Him in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Making sacrifice to Jupiter or Poseidon was (and still is) abhorrent to a Christian. Because the Romans believed that the favor of the gods was necessary to the security of the state, the Christians were believed to be not only impious and anti-religious but unpatriotic as well. In addition, many Christians refused to serve in the army because they might have to kill other human beings and thus violate the commandments of Christ. Similarly, some Christians refused to hold government posts, engage in commerce, or loan money because they saw these activities as lending approval to a corrupt earthly system. They believed that the only true empire was in heaven. As a result, the Roman government saw fit to persecute the Christians from time to time, especially during unsettled periods when a popular reform movement arose to return to the old Roman ways and values. Most Roman magistrates believed themselves to be enlightened and the government they represented to be merciful. and gave the Christians many opportunities to renounce their "strange unpatriotic beliefs" before condemning Christians to death in the arena or by formal execution. They absolutely could not understand why a Christian would choose a shameful, agonizing public death over being reinstated as a full citizen with all privileges when all the person needed to do was make a sacrifice for the health of the emperor or even just sprinkle a little incense over a lighted altar. The crowds who came to witness the games were a different matter altogether. Sometimes they became worked up into a frenzy of hate. They considered the Christians to be antisocial scum and clamored for a painful death for them in the arena, being mauled and torn apart by wild beasts or forced to fight gladiators who killed them for a public spectacle.

The most famous of the Christian persecutions was under Nero. A disastrous fire destroyed much of Rome in the year A. D. 64. Somehow, a rumor started circulating that Nero himself started the fire in order to rebuild the city. It was well-known that Nero considered much of Rome ugly and squalid. Whether or not he had any part in setting the fire is still being debated to this day, but the rumors started to spread and might become a threat to Nero's reign and life if left unchecked. He therefore decided to blame the antisocial and subversive Christians for starting the fire. after all, didn't they hold worship services underground in the city tombs known as catacombs? To make sure he was believed in accusing the Christians of setting the fire, he had many of them killed. Some were crucified in the arena, others thrown to wild animals, and still others were burned alive as living torches to light Nero's garden at his Golden House. St. Peter died during the Neronian persecutions. Because of this most well known persecution, Nero was written into history as one of the most depraved and cruel of the Roman emperors.

@1ldw - Roman/Christian Arena stories are all fairy tales. Sounds good and motivates masses, but in reality, it never happened. And, yes, I am a Christian.

A fact: Early Christians were put into the arena to fight professional gladiators in Roman times. They would vow not to fight and hold hands before entering the arena to reaffirm their faith.

Reality. They fought like phuck when faced with personal survival. Most died, but when faced with reality they did everything they could to stay alive.

Fact: human nature hasn't changed. None of the Union people will self-sacrifice to save their fallen brothers and sisters. NONE!!!
