    From John Richards@VERT/BYUBLG to All on Saturday, March 14, 2026 09:45:35
    Now that we have a union can we talk strike?

    I think we should all go on strike until wages go up and we get better health care.


    LOL. Hope you all take this in the jovial manner i meant it.

    Since we're all our own Bosses, I refuse to unionize my BBS.
    I can't afford to pay myself higher wages.

    A 10% raise of zero is still zero. ;)

    I miss the old days, when being an uplink/NC would at least rate
    getting a drink or two bought for you at the occasional gettogether...

    That was as close to revenue-generating as my BBS got.
