I'm a Teamster

          Another first.  My new position is servicing vehicles at National/Alamo car rental (cleaning, refueling, etc) which is a union job so I'm now a member of the Teamsters Local 305.

          I've never been in a union.  None of my assorted previous jobs were union and then I joined the Army.

          If—35 years ago—someone had said (while working my way through college) that in 2014 it would be considered an accomplishment just to be hired full-time at a union job with benefits, I would have scoffed.  Scoffed aloud...I tell you.
