Charlie, thanks for only trying to use persuasion to encourage us to buy union products. Too often, unions like to use government force to prevent us from buying the competitors!
And as an aside, it'd be nice to see these unions fighting strongly to get rid of price supports and import restrictions on sugar that make it more difficult for our candy manufacturers to be competitive.
good lord, heaven forbid we buy non-union products. unions are a joke, a bunch of crybabies who strike if they don't get their way, my job isn't secure, why should yours be!
