The “rational thinking” had nothing to do with the unions involved. It was forced onto them. They fought it tooth and nail all the way to the finish. Lied through their teeth, went straight-up thug on supporters of the reform and routinely used threats of violence to attempt to quell support for the reforms.
“For example, some people have to belong to the union in order to get a job, whether they really like it or not.”
That right there is reason enough to end unionism completely.
I work at a union shop in philly. I haven’t met a Clinton supporter yet.
