In Reply to: That only probably leaves 5000 who - me

300 MTs in less than 24 hours is a darned good start ! The best turnout ever for moving forward to a union.

So, cynical one . . . An MT union will never happen? Well, it already has, and it makes me proud to be an MT once again, something I've not felt in many years.

To those of you who are hopeful and proactive, I admire each one of you.

        Ya know wat? At this point in time, I would rather - see message
        If you truly feel that way, then why don't you get out? sm - KyMT
