Happy Friday!

Just a point of interest, to anyone who likes Yuengling Beer, the plant workers recently outsted their own union - the Teamsters, for failing to properly represent them.

So now, union members are calling for the boycott Yuengling beer. They claim that intimidation by the owners caused the ouster of the union - when, in fact, workers circulated petitions on their own to oust the Teamsters and the NLRB sided with the workers in the ouster. And, don't buy any of this cry-baby crap about unfair contracts. Yuengling pays its workers over $20.00 an hour in a depressed town with no other industry. It pays 100% of its employee health insurance - the big company I work for? pays 20%! Additionally, the workers get cost of living increases regularly. I don't buy the "he doesn't care about his workers" line of crap. If that was the case, they'd work mandatory overtime - all the time - like me, or they wouldn't have paid benefits - like me, or they wouldn't get reasonable raises . . . Anyway, all I am saying is I think, from the outside looking in, that Yuengling rocks, and it tastes good too . . .

So, since it is Friday, Happy Friday, I'm going to celebrate by buying two cases of Yuengling and actually drinking some!

P.S. Tammi! did you know you can buy Yuengling in Tampa????
