The limping quackers certainly knocked the bejeezus out of Michigan working people , and in record time, too! Had it been an actual fight, there would have been a record number of sprained duck shoulders in Lansing, since organized Labor has been so MIA lately that there was scarcely a target for Snyder & Co. to land a punch on. Just seven hours was all it took here in the staggered ex-union heartland , where we're mainly still so thrilled that Walter Reuther marched w/ M.L. King back in 1963 that we usually neglect to notice that it's been more than 50 years since we started to coast downhill from the peak of our organized power. But, if it's any consolation , which it isn't outside of your local insane asylum, Patrick Devlin ( Michigan Building Trades' amazingly ineffective lead observer , and sad-eyed mumbling spokesperson ) is no doubt as excited as ever to still 'have a seat at the table'. Snyder Inc.'s table , that is. Yo, Patrick... you were on the damn MENU, dude. - John A. Joslin ( IBEW local # 58 -Detroit )
