Thos stupid bastards hurt the rest of us for a while, but, as the free market would have it, they cut their own throat in the world market. That's just as it should be, thank you. Note: in the Nat'l Review mag a year ago, there was a news item about a steel plant in the Appalachians which told its workers that they needed to take a 10% pay cut to keep the plant afloat. The workers and local union agreed, but the parent union overuled them. The plant went under increasing the unemployment rate, and hastening the demise of the US steel industry. Who do you blame for that ?! Alan Algustyniak (sdccsu3!sdcrdcf!alan) (ucbvax!ucla-vax!sdcrdcf!alan) (allegra!sdcrdcf!alan) (decvax!trw-unix!sdcrdcf!alan) (cbosgd!sdcrdcf!alan)
