SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD WAY FOR A NON UNION OPERATOR TO BECOME A UNION  
OPERATOR IN A HURRY!

TEN BUCKS AN HOUR IN SIN CITY?   It may sound like a fair starting  
wage but not for Las Vegas and not with your housings costs.   Penn  
Highway Transit Company is paying about $7.50 to start in Lancaster,  
Pennsylvania for charter operators who receive tips.   McGristles,  
Kentucky Fried Rat and Booger King pay about the same amount here for  
counter help.   Red Rose Transit Authority is paying more than $10 to  
start ... I think it may be closer to 12 because it was over $10 when  
I checked it out a few years ago as a possible retirement job.  (I  
was told I was good canon fodder except that I probably wouldn't want  
it because part timers loose too much in union dues.)
