If You're Old, You're Retired.

We have been paid both ways. By the Local and sometimes by the producer. Now are paid and witholding is done through an independent payroll company (Cheaper for us ).

As for the insulting Cosa Nostra comment from Warped....whatever. You seem to disapprove of everything.

PS: I am now on the management side of this equation. I prefer skilled labor at a premium to scab labor at cost anytime.

Best of luck to you Michele. Hope everything works out for you.

Thanks, Racer. While talking to the attorney today, she said she would do some research and see if she can't get Dad unretired, and in the meantime, gave me some "homework" to do to see if we can't get the information from the union to read and look over. She thinks it's discriminatory, from what Dad says, but she is unsure if it's suit worthy or not.

Dad will be all right, one way or the other. I just hate to see him upset about stuff like this; he's 83, and doesn't need this at this time of life, you know?

Anyway, I'll update as it comes. Not sure what the outcome will be; it will be interesting nonetheless.

Ciels-
Michele

Thanks. I'll be interested to see how it turns.

All the best.

My reference was that of the fact that both organizations make you pay a fee in order to work, pay older workers appreciably more than newer ones on the whole, and seem to not live up to their promises of taking care of everyone like family.

In short both act as if you're only as good as your last envelope.

I think you would be suprised that there is a great deal I think is just great in this world, but the awful things need to be pointed out, fixed or stopped.
