(This is my understanding of the comment). WRONGO, bit breath! The local Sicilian Boy Scout chapters have, for atleast the past seven years, been trying to "organize" professionals, ie. engineers, programmers, etc.. They, the Unions, have met with limited success in this endeavor. The reason they are trying to organize pro's is because of the falling numbers of blue collar workers. PERSONAL OPINION!!!!!!!!!! I feel the reason the Unions have met with limited success in this area is that professionals usually have a higher educational background than the blue collar worker (this does not necessarily mean that pro's can spell, see above article :-)). The above comments and opinions, etc., are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer. Scott E. Farliegh AT&TIS Denver
