8. I am retired now

But among the many hats I've worn in my life was that of a successful businessman, but more proudly was that of a union member (44 years now) and an officer of that union for 10 years. It was a multi-employer craft union that worked for employers in the public sector, nonprofit sector, and the private sector. Each sector had its own environment and we were always willing to settle for less from employers in the nonprofit and public sector for the same work performed by our members. We are one of the strongest unions in the nation, all our members have both a defined benefit pension, and defined contribution annuity, 2 health plans, a major medical and one that pays the deductible, as well as the union paying for any work related college courses our members take. But we also know you have to work with employers as to what they are able to pay. However, most of our employers are in the private sector which helps support the shortfall from nonprofit and public sector in our benefit programs.
