12. I'm not. Over a thousand members of my Union out of work.

A couple hundred of them for more than a year. Guys have lost their houses, some of them are actually on the street. It's bad, really bad, for construction right now. Hell, it has been for three years now. Even the old timers who have been through bad times twice before have said it has never been this bad or lasted this long. I've been out for two months now with no prospects in sight. I'm heading up to New York on Wednesday to join OWS.
