Well, I have to respect your age and your experience. Thanks for that account. I still disagree with you.
Hey there, FRiend! We're FReepers and mostly on the same side on the big issues. Yes, we're probably never going to come to terms when it comes to unions but I do sincerely thank you for engaging in a good dialog.
Maybe where we differ is our age and locale. I grew up in a time and an area where unions had a stranglehold on a whole region. Ask anyone from the mid-Atlantic about the countless jobs lost due to unions putting once-profitable companies out of business. At one time, America was the world's leading steel producer. That entire industry vanished due to unions.
What shouldn’t be allowed is the special governmental protections and advantages that are codified for labor unions.
Freedom of assembly is something completely different and shouldn’t/wouldn’t be at risk.
