Then you get an idea of the sense that PG&E can do anything they want to do. This was along time ago, but now most of the labor folks are just trying to stay middle class, anyhow.

The only thing that kept Mooney and Billings out of living the rest of there lives in prison, was a big effort by labor for about 20 years to get them out.

As Cyrus Arbuckle said, "You get what you pay for"
