Nobody at IBM to negotiate your retirement bennies when you left, eh?
Well, there's no strength in individualism. 
I suppose you should talk to my FIL. The UAW threw him from the train
a while ago.
Yeah, it's really too bad the union movement has been shrinking and that
many workers no longer have the sort of representation they need to
protect themselves from large corporate employers. Workers are out there
on their own, no more than serfs, and without a safety net. But, hell,
this is a corporation uber alles world, and nothing matters more than
huge corporate profits.
