The unions were good to me. Except for those 2 pricks I never had
problems with management either. *Guys like them are the reason
there's unions*. They'll lie and steal you blind, and get you killed
for a buck.

Bingo!
If everyone was treated fairly & with respect why would they willingly
pay those union dues year after year.
(not counting a few cases where a particular union may hold a business
hostage to enrich it's members above their fair value)
Stop living in the 1920s Don.
Unions cause mediocrity...........everyone receives the same pay
increase, despite their abilities and contributions.
Unions created the lower middle class in this country, and made a future
possible for tens of millions of working Americans and their children
and grandchildren.
Agreed as you posted in past tense.
In todays world unions are no longer needed though. ;-)
That's right...everyone should put their faith in their corporate
employer, who, without unions, can buttfu*k you mercilessly while the Bush
Admin cheers and lets your jobs be exported to China.
Greed............by corporate executives and unions caused our present
problem with jobs moving to China, Mexico and Canada.
However, we are competing in a global economy and continue to shift from
brawn to brain.
The state of our economy........the Dow passed 14,000 today, but fell back
later in the day. Imagine going from the crash of post 9-11 to some 7,000
to almost doubling it in a short 5 some years.
In case you forgot............it was all done with tax cuts under the
direction of GWB. Interestingly unemployment levels are at record lows and
earning levels are at al time highs.
Eh?
Thank you, Gordon Gecko.
