Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to say that you're too ignorant or anything like that. I just know that it used to be the case that the initials of major unions were the kind of thing that people just knew (like the way that we know what INS is even if we're not immigrants). I guess it is no longer the case (the labor movement generally having declined a lot), and that's what I was lamenting.
