A union’s purpose is not to address issues with the economy, but with working conditions and such. No doubt life is better for the worker now than 100+ years ago. The problem is that they, like civil rights folks, have outlived their usefulness.

The only thing that has destroyed more American businesses than union labor is American management.

Sure. How about the MHG...never mind, not them. Or the ONMO...no, come to think of it, they struck and wound up driving out the steel industry. Or maybe the XXY - naa, it would up that cars made by free workers are 10 times better and much cheaper and easier to build.

...oh well, I tried.
