"...You can all criticize me but far as i am concerned the country as a whole is better off due to unions..."

UAW? The UAW is nearly single-handedly responsible for the demise of the US auto industry. Utter greed.

NEA? The NEA is probably the one reason our educational system sucks, in spite of our spending vast sums of money on education (in total dollars, more than any other country) and people like Barack Obama and other liberals who think the solution is to spend more. The NEA and other teachers unions are interested in ONE thing: Greed and self interest. They don't give a RAT'S ASS about education, it is about tenure, pay and damned time off.

Sure. Unions had a place back in the day of JP Morgan, but when the pay of the average UAW worker reaches nearly $40 an hour and BANKRUPT an ENTIRE INDUSTRY, then it is not just "looking out for the workers" it is GREED. (GM officials say the average reaches $39.68 an hour, including base pay, cost-of-living adjustments, night-shift premiums, overtime, holiday and vacation pay. Health-care, pension and other benefits average another $33.58 an hour)

That, and I DETEST the THUGGISH and RUDE behavior of unions towards non-union workers. You don't think they do? Gee, how about those big inflatable RATS they put outside places, PAID for with UNION money. And that is TYPICAL behavior.

When I hear people say "as far as I am concerned" that is about as far as it goes. Unions suck, and as much as anything are responsible for the decline in our ability to manufacture goods.

IT IS PEOPLE THAT DO NOT UNBDERSTAND UNIONS THAT SUCK!
There is a class of people that have it drilled in their thick sculls that unions are bad. They do not attempt to understand them so why try to explain it the ignorant a**holes. Mind numbed robots that just follow the leader.

If big business had their way you would make a dollar an hour after they removed their foot from your throat. That is after you had to shop at the company store where they set the price you would have to pay or starve! Just look around at the world. Wages being paid around the world keep people in poverty and way down the ladder from our standard of living. Without unions we and yes you people sitting on your asses all day in an office would making maybe a dollar an hour. Do not kid yourself business is not ever going to pay you unless they are forced to. You would live in poverty and work like a slave 7 days a week if it were up to them.
