Most unions have outlived their usefulness, and they're simply in business to line the union bosses' pockets and to be ATMs for the Democrat Party.

I was in a union during the mid-1980s (airport ramp worker). Paid a lot of dues and caught a lot of crap from co-workers for working too hard. When you are in a union, you are expected to go "slow and easy" and working harder than the next guy is extremely discouraged.

"Don't kill the job" was a popular expression.

Soon as I left that job and I was able to negotiate and work for myself, my income and opportunities broadened considerably.

Any chance Trump will suspend Davis Bacon for the wall and other federal projects?

I recently got a new job and was forced to join a union for the first time. I unfortunately do not work in a right to work State. Just boils my blood to have to pay dues to these Democrat loving idiots!

I work all across the country building shipping warehouses. In union controlled states the jobs are always behind schedule and over budget. All the warehouses are the same, the only difference is they are union constructed.

Half the unions are ok to work with, the other half are little better Mafia thugs.

This union worker tends to agree with you. However, high end unions are fantastic. When the hands police themselves, and are in it for a fair wage with regular pay raises to attempt to keep up with inflation, it works great. I am fortunate to be in a high end union like this. We take pride in that and none of us want to “kill the golden goose”. People who are slackers, tend to get fired, and 99% of us vote conservative.

The German Workers Socialist Party was a union.
