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.

The same 'minimal' increase. Nothing stops a corp from rewarding
exceptional workers.

That's right. The union rate in most contracts is the minimal rate.
There is nothing to prevent an employer from rewarding exceptional
workers more expansively.
