I retired from my last union,

It began in 1919. A previous

union hire involved a State

Department of Corrections.

That's lifetime work also.

California correctional new

hire have a state start salary

of 65K and are union too.

The worst paid are within

'W. Virginia. A right to

work state where unions

are made unwelcome.
