A comment was made that seeing how programmers are well paid the
Unions would not try to organize them.  (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.
