38 years here talking: We don't have the union mentality because when the
chips are down, its always every man for himself,always has been.No matter
what people say,its like that. I help whenever I can, have been burned often
by local guys.NESDA is helpful because we are not competing locally,hence
can be helpful and friendly.
    Would you really tell the guy next door how to attract more customers?
