First of all, YOU did your part by working hard and wanting to excel. Congratulations!

Those Union benefits used to be awesome. Not so much any more for some of the newer hires, I understand, but still something to cherish. Have a close relative who is a GM retiree. She got out right when benefits were being cut, etc.
