Thankyou WayOutWest, I completely see the advantage of an ETHICAL union in theory... it's just that the one I was involved in was certainly not...
... as a "side story" to said adventure...
One evening I was at, yet another, "union drinking establishment"
.... and an African American officer began to get mouthy haha....
....now, in the offshore business, racism is not tolerated... big business = professional conduct.... which I do love....
...HOWEVER... the place was still pretty much divided/split down the middle.... blacks on one side, whites on the other... and this dude just kept jackin' his jaw...
............ SOOOO...
.... I took it upon myself to mosey on over into the dark to ask this sombitch what his problem was and it got "lively"....
...being called out in front of his friends, he jumped up into my face... and we shared a "classic, rubbin' titties" stare down... which I did not mind
.... I explained our situation... his friends wanted no part of it... and bought us a pitcher to drink on whilst we explored our similarities...
.... I, single-handedly, won the black vote that night... DAMN I shoulda been a politician...
