Anti GOP

The unions need to compile a list of bad actor companies that are public. This company list should include large GOP donors, ALEC members, Chamber of Congress members, and other companies with anti middle class agendas. Find companies that donate to anti union congressmen and other causes that are destroying the fabric of our nation. Once this list is compiled it will be easy to cross reference what mutual fund, hedge fund, or brokerage firm own shares in these companies.
Once this list is established the Union needs to sit down with the Goldman Sachs and other money managers and explain to them they intent to yank every penny out of that firm if they are invested in any of these names. The Unions control trillions of dollars in their pension plans. Imagine giving Goldman Sachs three days to divest in all these companies or write you a check for a trillion dollars.

Early Millwrights

Early Millwrights

The word "millwright" has long been used to describe the man who was marked by everything ingenious and skillful.

For several centuries in England and Scotland the millwright was recognized as a man with a knowledge of carpentry, blacksmithing and lathe work in addition to the fitter and erector.

He was the recognized representative of mechanical arts and was looked upon as the authority in all applications of winds and water, under whatever conditions they were to be used, as a motive power for the purpose of manufacture.

In other words, as the above definition would indicate,

he was the area engineer, a kind of jack of all trades who was equally comfortable at the lathe, the anvil or the carpenter's bench.

Thus, the millwright of the last several centuries was an itinerant engineer and mechanic of high reputation and recognized abilities.

He could handle the axe, the hammer and the plane with equal skill and precision.

He could turn, bore or forge with the ease and ability of one brought up in those trades.

He could set and cut in the furrows of a millstone with an accuracy equal to or superior to that of the miller himself.

In most instances, the millwright was a fair arithmetician, knew something of geometry, leveling and measurements, and often possessed a very competent knowledge of practical mathematics.

He could calculate the velocities, strength and power of machines; could draw in plans, construct buildings, conduits or watercourses, in all the forms and under all the conditions required in his professional practice.

He could build bridges, cut canals and perform a variety of work now done by civil engineers.

In the early days of North America millwrights designed and constructed the mills where flour and grist were ground by water power.

Water was directed over hand-constructed wooden mill wheels to turn big wooden gears and generate power.

Millwrights executed every type of engineering operation in the construction of these mills.

The introduction of the steam engine, and the rapidity with which it created new trades, proved a heavy blow to the distinctive position of the millwrights,

by bringing into the field a new class of competitors in the form of turners, fitters, machine makers, and mechanical engineers.

Although there was an extension of the demand for millwork, it nevertheless lowered the profession of the millwright, and leveled it to a great degree with that of the ordinary mechanic.

It was originally the custom for the millwrights to have meetings for themselves in every shop.

These meetings usually included long discussions of practical science and the principles of construction which more often than not ended in a quarrel.

One benefit of these meetings was the imparting of knowledge, as young aspirants would frequently become excited by the illustrations and chalk diagrams by which each side supported their arguments.

Millwright decals

Pissed Off ::
I really irks me for a Union Hall to copy one of my Millwright custom made and copyrighted decals.
And to add insult..... They are RAT made!!! Not Union made ... No Union bug .... Who knows were they are made?

Please check your items that you get from your hall to see if they are UNION MADE?
Any Union hall that buys NON - - UNION made decals, Rat made or made in some foreign country should have there Charter revoked.
I really don't mind a Union Brother or Sister copying one of my decals. Pride in being Union is what I stand for.
Not A Union Hall buying RAT Decals. Throw the RATS SUPPORTERS out of the hall !!!!
