Most companies are run by professional mismanagers - bean counters with
MBAs. I doubt if it is universal but most MBAs I have known opted for
business degrees after flunking out of other more difficult disciplines
such
as sports announcing. Unions were a reaction to their bad management.

Unions were created way before MBA degrees existed. Most MBAs I know have
degrees in engineering or MD degrees.

After
much turmoul, unions became an accepted and beneficial part of America.
And
then what did they do? Why hire the same incompetents mismanage
themselves!!

Where did Jimmy Hoffa get his MBA? George Sweeney?

These trusted mismanagers either made "sweetheart" deals with
company mismanagers that made both rich at the expense of stockholders and
employees or, if the ompany managers didn't play, they duped the rank and
file into unrealistic demands that drove the employers overseas or into
bankruptcy.

Union members voted on contracts. So the union leaders were out to either
screw the union or screw the company. By what you're saying, union members,
as an aggregate, must be really ignorant.

Twarn't the stockholders (owners) or the workers, it was the
professional mismanagers on both sides of the bargaining tables.


No, it was the Mob Mentality of the Union membership. They were too ignorant
to act in their own individual best interests. Remember the motto:

"None of us are as dumb as all of us"

History is strewn with the wreckage of collectivism. Unions are just some
more scrap on the heap.


Amen!
