Union is dead, the musicdisk will come out within a month.

	Yes, due to circumstances beyond our control, like that little 
devil called 'time', and the lack of staffing in Union, we are hereby 
disbanding, and putting the name Union to rest, at least for these days.

	Nailz and myself, along with other Union members have decided 
that we don't have the steam needed at this point in time to keep the 
group growing and successful, and with our busy schedules of school, 
rollerblading, chick humping, etc, we have decided to stop our 
involvement in the scene for the time at hand.  In addition, we haven't 
been truly Union since Neurotic left either.  The group has changed 
vastly, not necesarily for the better. 

	We have seen the k0w, and he feared us, and he said 'step off, 
the k0w cometh' and so we're dead.  If you got bit by the k0w, you would 
die too (eh andy?).  

	I've been involved with Union now for nearly 1 year, since I had 
to kill my own group ALiVE when I left for college in September of 94.  
I've had alot of good times with the members of our group, and I'm sorry 
to see it come to an end. :(  Unfortunately, the staff doesn't have 
enough time, and there aren't any other members in the group who have 
the time either, to keep things in control and running smoothly.  

	I've already spoke with most Union members, and let them know the 
situation, they have already made up their minds on what they plan to do 
after this day, so don't go about harassing everyone, as many are going 
to drop the scene with Nailz and myself for awhile too.  

	Lastly, Staff conflicts.  Nailz and myself are the two most 
active staff members, as shadow hawk and terminally nothing have less 
time lately too.  Nailz and myself couldn't come to an agreement on what 
path Union should take.  It was a simple difference of opinion, but 
unfortunately being the two most active staff members, if we differ, it's 
tough to keep the group moving forward.  

	And so I conclude, of sound body and mind, as Mass Delusion, that 
the concurring staff of Union Productions has decided to put to rest the 
group that we have so diligently worked on for along time now.

	I will always remember the times I had with you guys, the 
MrDawson confs, the IRC, MRi net, alive/union/relic, the Union #1 pack, 
and the dry sarcasm that made our staff one of the best in the scene to 
be part of.

	To everyone I owe, thanks guys, you made it a good ride.  

	Please, do read this and respect us, and DO NOT HARASS US ABOUT 
this.  We have made up our mind, and we would like to spend our time OFF 
from the scene, being free of harassment about our future plans and past 
events...  just don't keep asking us about Union, and we won't get 
pissed. :)  We aren't happy about this in the first place, but we'd 
rather end it than just let it fade like it has been.

	TO ANYONE IN UNION WHO HASN'T BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THIS, PLEASE 
MAIL ME AT THE FOLLOWING, OR GET AHOLD OF ME, WE HAVE A FEW CLOSING 
THINGS TO TAKE CARE OF.  THANK YOU GUYS!
