(38,958 posts)I was lucky in that the wife went onto SSDI a couple of years before I retired, so she was already covered before they ushered me out the door in favor of the kid who was a friend of the department manager. That worked out great for them with an inexperienced Receiver right before Christmas, but okay by me as I was home collecting SS and my Union Pension.

Every good strike has to have good bbq.
I walked the line during the big GM strike at Arlington Tx plant in solidarity with the UAW in 2019 we had food galore as those UAW brothers and sisters were so gracious and cooked for everybody.
We wore our Teamster Safety vest of course.
Enjoy that pizza & breadsticks brother.

(10,303 posts)My demand is to bring back potato wedges. And the little parfaits.
Unlike you I'll be protesting on the road between SC and Tampa... Causing a constant 65 mph (or less) roadblock along I95 and i75 along the way.

(759 posts)If we band together it would be like a general strike. As one of the only people that preferred New Coke over the original, I plan on boycotting Pepsi until they bring it back. And Ill be parking my ass in the couch at 6:30 this evening and not budging.
Solidarity brother.
