The union had lost in court, and to get even they "sabotaged" the plumbing in a building so cleverly that no one would EVAH suspect sabotage. <br /><br />They would simply assume the plumbers were stupid.Trigger Warninghttp://triggerwarnings.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-85298894752504153672014-07-11T15:48:46.347-07:002014-07-11T15:48:46.347-07:00I wondered that same thing, but didn't bother ...I wondered that same thing, but didn't bother to look it up.

Which means that they will have to hold off giving to the UNCF for something in excess of 500 years before the amount lost from them would approach the amount UNCF just gained.
