dude, a union is all about seniority.  if you can explain me a more fair way 
other than seniority,  i am all ears.  we start at the bottom here in town.  
my gig is a little different here at the pool.  but inside the casinos for new 
guys are the shifts like graveyard 1a-9a service well.  maybe make $30-50 
bucks in tips if your lucky.  but we do make $15.60 an hour.  that in itself 
is a lot better than the horror stories of what people make in florida.  
something like $3.00 an hour.  i am very fortunate for all the old timers 
before me that set this union thing up.  hell i could be in an office behind a 
cubical somewhere pushing a pen.  like in Office Space.
