  1. Right to work laws do not mean you can't join a union. It means you cannot be forced to in order to gain employment. Absolutely correct. Although these lame duck laws take away more than just forcing people to pay dues. The new Michigan bill says you must have 100% of all employees paying dues and 75% of those agree just to have a seat at the table, to bargain for working conditions and meet with management. This is only after a year long process of verification. I'm Proud to work in a 100% Union Fire Dept. here in Arizona! For example, being organized has given us a right to sit and discuss what type of equipment I wear on my back and what type of equipment I carry on my truck vs. letting my city manager and city council make the decisions for me. Cheap three bid procurement equipment kills folks in my profession. It's not always about rewarding a "lazy worker" or about "pay" A lot of the times it is about the things that keep us safe as the worker. As I said, I respectively disagree, I am more proud to be an american and have the right to an opinion. Happy Hunting! So what are you going to do when the financially strapped municipality that you work for can not afford to give you a raise and your union puts you on strike? when instead of responding to a fire you are standing in a picket line? We havent accepted a raise in 4 years, even though it's built into our contract. Infact we have taken furlough days in order to prevent layoffs citywide. Our Union like most Arizona fire unions placed a no strike clause in our contract ourselves! Tell me the last time you saw a fire department strike? Really?

    Late rifle hunt pics

    Looks like good eating!
  4. Use Devcon 10110 for your bedding. I have used that for all my rifles and have loved it. I have Bell and Carlson and H&S aluminum stocks on a few of my rifles,and have bedded both with better accuracy. I have had good luck with Vortex scopes for under $1K. Great scopes with an unbeatable warranty! Good luck with your project!

    Trail Cam music video - Lots of critters!

    I think it was the 2011 model of the Covert Extreme. So it's not even the more recent models, which should be better. The Red40 is the 2012 version of this camera, it has more battery life and LEDs. Thanks, can't wait to order one!
