...............................................Union Members Play Big Part in Super Bowl Game Plan






Written by Mike Hall, AFL-CIO

In New Orleans this Super Bowl week, there are plenty of fans sporting 49ers’ red and gold caps and jerseys and Ravens’ purple and black gear. But there are also thousands of union members—including many from unions in the Greater New Orleans AFL-CIO (GNO)—who proudly display their union label and are making the game possible and the fan experience in the Crescent City run smoothly.

Starting on the gridiron, the players who are battling for the NFL championship are members of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA). They share a bond with the men in the striped shirts—members of the NFL Referees Association. During the past two years, both have been locked out by NFL owners.

The announcers, camera operators, technicians and other hardworking folks who are bringing the game to the big flat-screen TV in your home or favorite watering hole are members of SAG-AFTRA, Broadcast Employees and Technicians-CWA (NABET-CWA), Electrical Workers (IBEW) and Laborers (LIUNA) .

The half-time spectacular isn’t a “Hey, kids let’s put on a show” kind of deal. The down-to-the-second, choreographed, on-the-field, off-the-field, 12-minute extravaganza is made possible by the skills of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the talents of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada (AFM) and other performing artists.

For the fans who head for the concessions, their hot dogs are served and beer drawn by men and women from Teamsters (IBT) Local 270. They also staff the New Orleans Saints team store.





............................................................................................



Don’t forget that much of the repair and renovation work on the Mercedes-Benz Superdome that was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina was performed by skilled workers from the unions of the Southeast Louisiana and Louisiana State Building and Construction Trades councils.

Many of the firefighters, emergency medical personnel and other vital New Orleans city workers, who are ensuring a safe and efficient Super Bowl week, are members of the Fire Fighters (IAFF) and AFSCME. While Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) members operate many of the buses and trolleys that are shuttling fans around town.

Anyone who’s staying at the Loews New Orleans Hotel is enjoying the services provided by UNITE HERE members. Of course, the fans who flew in for the big game got there safely, thanks to aviation workers from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), Air Line Pilots (ALPA), Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), Transport Workers (TWU) and Machinists (IAM).

Enjoy the game.

I hope you realize your reality of a non-union environment ASAP. It can't happen fast enough...

And thank you for your epiphany.

Too much junk food.

There is no such thing as "junk food," only inadequate diets.

Yeah...um, as long as we are on that subject, the subject of truth...


How long has it been since you sent that letter to the beer company?


Could we see a copy of that letter?


Thank you in advance.

.

Hey, motherfucker, get a life.

.






So...the letter.



We would like to see the letter that you sent to the beer company to get this thing rollin.


I mean, you've been talking about this thing for years now.


Telling us how GREAT of an idea it is.


You said you sent a letter to that beer company you chose.



Let's see it.







Actually...this is starting to feel weird.

Almost like you are stallin or someth - no. NO you wouldn't be doing that.



That would destroy whatever credibility that you & you idea have left upon this forum.


Yeah. That letter. WE WANT TO SEE IT NOW!

Subject: Proposed Pabst Micro-Test in Memphis
Mr. Metropoulos, attached is my original letter to you on the proposed
Pabst micro-test in the Memphis, TN area. I have worked out the
various technical issues of the Ouzo game, and would like to submit
a short proposal for your personal evaluation. If you could let me
know your present mailing address, I will send it to your attention.
Thanks, Bob Evenson

You've got to be kidding.

This letter is from over a fucking year ago.



This isn't what we have been talking about.


If this is the letter you have been talking about, you have been something less than honest with us.



So...you are saying that your whole PR campaign for this philosophical concept has been OVER for the past year?



...and you continue to talk as if this is an active idea that you are pursuing?



I don't believe this.







..........................................................................




I want to see the original letter that he refers to. The letter you wrote to him.



And on top of that tell us what you have done SINCE February 12, 2012 to make this idea of yours a reality.




All the best.



And I'll wait right here.

You know Bill, you've got to be the dumbest son of a bitch on the planet. You don't have a fucking brain in your head, and all you can do is talk bullshit and post your stupid pictures. If you ever see a therapist and learn to communicate, let me know. P.S. You want to see the original letter? Go fuck yourself.

.



So...that's just silence.



SILENCE.


Just so YOU, ME, and the REST OF THE MEMBERS here at the Philosophy Now Forums understand what you are saying...NOTHING.




And just so ALL OF US UNDERSTAND...WE don't need to hear any more of anything in relation to your ideas to take over the world.


YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THOSE IDEAS & NEITHER DO WE.



We're done.




Have a great weekend.
