honest question ... I'm seriously curious, because I don't know anyone that works for a union ...
Does the union actually give you benefits worth the dues you pay ... or ... is it more a legal shakedown of workers these days?

Full medical, dental, prescriptions (all with copays, of course), life insurance, annuity plan, health reimbursement account, pension($120/yr per credit), 401k contributions. All in all, $46/hr plus @80% to fund all the bennies. And a hiring hall that will eventually get you a job when times are tough. Cost is $178 2x a year plus 1% assessment. So if you make 90K your dues are @$1100 a year. As long as you're available for work, you don't lose your bennies while unemployed. My father was a union man and I am too. I put two kids thru college already,(my third is a soph. at NC St) own a 4 bedroom house in NY metro area, 3 cars, over 150 posters, etc., etc., etc., because of the union.

Glad I paid $40 for this from Slater's site when he's letting his reseller offload it for $30 ...

What does Philaarts.com charge for shipping, I didn't see it on their site? Cause I paid $30 on Toddslater.net but shipping was $10.

Of course I paid $10 each to Todd for shipping on 2 posters and they came packaged together in one tube with $6.95 in postage, but okay, rather pay the artist than ebay.

Peace,

good point, I forgot about shipping ... I was charged $40, but indeed, 10 was for shipping. I just saw that on ebeans, it states original price as $40 ... but, I think it was indeed $30.

Send Slater an email and he'll refund any overcharges on shipping. At least he says he will. I got 6 posters from him but paid around $20 for shipping. But I let him know before the orders were processed, that may make a difference. Haven't gotten them yet though.

I wonder what international shipping is for Philaart's?
Sometimes shipping is nearly as much as the item.

Thats pretty good postage varies so much for international.
I have paid cheaper prices for international shipping to have the item arrive early and delivered to my door.
To paying high prices and it taking anywhere between 4-6 weeks.

Does anyone know why 10c items are shipped from Sweden and not Seattle or the US when your postage is being converted to US$ from AUS$??

In fairness 10C's shipping fees and delivery times are fairly shitty in comparison to others....still love ya 10C tho!

First print of the ModernRockArt.net print series is up ... and ... it's ok ... not fantastic.

http://modernrockart.com/osc/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=137

Again, this series was to be 12 prints from a lot of today's best print artists ... the set was $300, so, essentially, $25 per print ... the lineup was ... (with one to go twice, we don't know who that is yet)

Daniel Danger
Dirk Fowler
Justin Hampton
Gary Houston
Rob Jones
Mike King
Brad Klausen
Mike Klay
Punchgut
Jermaine Rogers
Diana Sudyka

Quite a killer lineup ... next month's print is Diana Sudyka ... she's done some killer work for the Decemberists ... like this one ...

http://www.expressobeans.com/public/detail.php/45435

It'll be intersting to the reaction to BK doing an art print ... I think it's his first.

you'd think with this still having a few subs left, they would have lined up the first print to be killer ... but, that's a bit shy of killer ....

Still ... $25 a print for that lineup ... there *has* to be 3 or 4 gems in there with that lineup ... (so, 60-75 per gem) .... well, that's how I talked myself into it.

sweet adeline

glad i passed on that series.

I wouldn't trust that ... the guy at morernartrock.com stated these were 75% sold out 3 weeks ago ... then again, he stated that he screwed up assigning the numbers, and that while some people have numebrs assigned in the in 100s, the next people to sign up would get numbers in the 70s ... man, how tough is it to assign numbers based on date purchased?

Who knows.
