In this day and age, Unions are responsible in a big part for killing corporate america's competitive edge. In this world of globalization (or exploitation) there seems to be no place for unions or their ilk. Unions has gone from being the supporters of the rights of the little guy to a thugocracy. If you look at how China are India are prospering it is because they don't have this kind of crap to deal with- you have to work hard to keep your job, if you don't the alternative is to starve to death- the way it should be.
Hurrah! Well said. I was in a union once and it was laughably inept and I still regret being involved. Years later I had a Montana Highway Department job that required you to pay union dues even if you chose not to join, and we were paid $1 an hour less than the units to the West and East that had the same representation!
My wife is in the union where she works and they have so many problems that are self induced and are sometimes funny but all in all they have screwed themselves over in so many ways. What is good for the union is not always good for the workers or their future let alone our economy. She is in the public sector and there is a colossal waste of time taken up by activities of the union.
