I know how that is..

I used to work with a Union guy who was an oiler on a large crane..

He said it was good when the work was there, but when it wasn't only the relatives or friends of the union steward got work..

I was a Teamster when I was driving and a Boilermaker when I worked at the dump truck factory. I know what you're saying.
