A labor union!? Now how will we fuck those poor bastards out of sick time/overtime/wage/insurance/whatever we can get away with?!

The Kalmar Union was when the entire Nordic region (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland) was ruled under one monarchy from Denmark. The Swedes were the first to break away (as well as the Finns, but at the time Finland was under Sweden's rule) because Denmark kept going into random wars, and the Swedes were getting upset because the wars were frequent and rather pointless. Norway left after Sweden, leaving only Iceland with Denmark. But Iceland eventually broke away from Denmark too. So now Denmark is forever alone. Sucks for them.
Person 1: Why do we have to learn about the Kalmar Union in History class?
Person 2: Because it was a very major and important part of Scandinavian history. It made those countries what they are today.
University located in the heart of the East Village in Manhattan, NY @ Cooper Square. First Institution of higher learning to have a non-discriminatory policy,also the only school in the U.S to offer a full scholarship to everyone accepted; with a 4% acceptance rate for the Art School and a 10% acceptance rate for the architecture and engeneering schools, Cooper Union is one of the Most selective schools in the U.S. and definately THE most prestigious art school west of the Art Academy of Florence. One of the Best Schools this nation can offer.

While working for an employer who is signature to a collective bargaining agreement, you stop working to rest, several times a day and for at least several minutes in duration. Union Breaks can be described as frequent and long.
Hey, we’ve been on the clock for 20 minutes now, time for a Union Break.

The union ironworker is a proud, brave, hard working and loyal person to his trade who will build structures that will still be here long after we are gone. They are also the heroes that were at ground zero who came from all over the country to help out.
When you are sitting in your new office in the Freedom Tower, remember, it was the skill of a union ironworker that helped in its creation.

Union is an amazing school- academically, athletically, and socially!
Our engineering program is top notch- everyone is incredibly intelligent and works hard. We also have fantastic psychology and political science departments (although all departments are pretty strong). Most students complete a thesis and many are published before graduation- which is a huge deal for undergrads.
Union was a party school in the early 2000s when drugs and frats reigned supreme- but things are changing. We still have a very active Greek life- and everyone loves a great party- but the stereotypes of blondes with pearls and douche's with bmw's don't apply anymore. Yes, we are ranked the #5 party school in the nation, but that doesn't do us justice. We do so much more than have a good time on the weekends. We were also ranked the #11 most beautiful school- the campus is gorgeous and the men and women aren't shabby either. We may be hot, but we're not shallow. We all hit the gym (or at least look like we do) but we also occasionally wear sweatpants to class.
Our Hockey Team is D1 and absolutely fantastic! Last year we were ranked #4 in the nation. We consistently beat out Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth and going to a home game is one of the best experiences. Our D3 teams are also fantastic.
We may be smart, have money, and win championships but we don't need to try too hard because we know who we are. We're Union. We're the best.
High school senior: I read on urban dictionary that Union College is just a fratty party school for rich white kids.
UNION STUDENT: It isn't 2006 anymore. Union is great, yes we know how to party (but what college kid doesn't?) but we're also smart, talented, and athletic!
High school senior: Oh, maybe I should check it out then.
UNION STUDENT: Absolutely!
