Prevalent in all the world, the survival instinct that is within all creatures is amplified into an urge to conquer, and/or destroy anyone and
everyone to achieve one's
goals, long and short-term.
This behavior is counteractive to any group or gathering that requires individuals to
work together or be of like mind to have success in it's collective endeavors.

job costs for extra security due to
theft and generally make us look bad as union craftsmen?
Typical Union Guy: F**k Em'.....I got mine.
