Any resolution in sight for the ATA strike?
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 11:21 PM by imenja
Or is a permanent work stoppage?

Edit: Seriously, did anyone see them in Boston? Any word on what's going on?

1. This being a progressive site
I suppose right to work legislation, scabs, and strikebreakers are out of the question? :sarcasm:

5. The Gods Are Crazy!
They have all gone away, and left us on our own. Oh, did I say Gods? I meant Mods.

33. you're in Austin, you don' t have a basement!
and I have it on good authority that your preferred instruments of torture are a feather and a wind up mouse.

Confess, what have you done with the real VelmaD!

20. As far as I see it, there aren't any new questions asked there,
just repeats of the same old complaining. I wouldn't bother answering either, if I were an admin. In fact, I'd probably delete the forum. It's not like anyone's being forced to be here.

28. I think Zell Miller is physically unable to smile...
... without poison dribbling out of his mouth. A defect of character, or birth perhaps, or maybe both.

40. Even with his hair all fallen out and his weight down to nothing...
... as the result of chemotherapy, Sagan's genuine decency and good nature still shine through, somehow. :loveya:

31. I'm telling you again folks, they got raptured.
But damn, I didn't know heaven was in VelmaD's basement! The theological implications are staggering... ropes, electricity, and Miracle Whip????
