     I guess I should write this about the two separate working classes we have in America. 

    The first type are the ones that work in the private sector without union represenation.  Those people have to work hard mostly for less money or they don't have a job.  Cruel that it sounds, you know where you stand in that scenero.  I had the most experience in that type of work enviroment.  Unfortunatly, there are a few people that are lazy with those jobs, but you don't have a high percentage.

    The second type are the ones that work in either the private sector with union representation and the public sector with union representation.  I fall in the second type now as I work in the postal service.  I see so many lazy people at work or ones that just work the least amount of time so that the workers that do the lion share of the work get frustrated at times.  There is really nothing that can be done since management doesn't want to waste their time with those who don't do much except collect their paycheck. 

    When I go to work, I do the best I can and do whatever I can to help those who do their job and avoid those who really are not interested with working.  When I go home after work, I need to be happy with the person I see in the mirror.  Also, vacations and days off help keep my sanity as I can relax and do other things that I enjoy.
