   So on Labor Day, think about the years of hard labor which went into making
   the phone you take for granted work so well. Union people made it happen.

And, as we all know, they made it stop happening, too.  While I find
these reminiscences (sp?) generally enjoyable, I find the touting of
trade unions in this particular piece particularly offensive.  Please
remember that we are here to discuss telecommunications, and not trade
unions.

Non-union people could have made all this happen, too.
