[Ducati] Strike at Harley (NDC)

[John M. Carruth]

I am a Hospital Administrator and pay about $300/mo toward health insurance 
for my family, and we are self insured!

These guys at Yorkville are a bunch of spoiled brats. I despise unions - I 
used to be in one when I worked at Firestone in the seventies. The union 
eventually caused the factory to close down, eliminating about 3000 jobs in 
Memphis, TN. If management is doing their job, there is no need for a 
bargaining unit.

MC content - we made MC tires at Firestone, but I sure as hell would not run 
them on my bike!
