My first job was union and the actual union employees thugs. But the rest of us were only members because it was either that or no job. The company workers are average Joes. (I love and respect average people.) It was the people employed by the union I had zero respect for.

“monster”?
Tut tut. This shooter is a future Democrat ‘mover-and-shaker’!
So it’s just a matter of semantics.
