I am basically anti-union BUT I do realize that everytime the Union got something, it would trickle down to us private sector people and the PS owners would have to pay close to Union scale in order to keep some decent help.
People often overlook the positive changes brought about by unions a long time ago; they were absolutely necessary at a time of horrible abuses of labor, and many of the reforms demanded became codified as law. The problem is since then they’ve won unsustainable gains for a dwindling number of workers; they’ve reduced the number of union jobs as a result.
My biggest issue is with the public employee unions, bleeding the taxpayers and passing along some of those ill-gotten gains to buy politicians to increase the bloodflow into the public employees’ pockets...
