The pay for the CoOp was very good for its day but in practice only a few did the work for the group and the rest were just along for the ride. In an odd way it was a union as we acted as our own barganing unit but signed individual contracts. A few of us went to the same outage afterwards to try and keep it alive but you need participation of all of your members to make a go. Independence is a hallmark of the roadtech this makes unions or Co-Ops difficult.

No offense, but, no thanks. They extorted enough money from me in the past.
