Boy, you're a real cherry picker. I can always tell when the other guy doesn't have much ammo in his argument. You ignore half the factual information, and distort the rest.

That's not organized labor's claim, or their aim. Unions are after more pay and LESS output, not more productivity. Hence their demands to limit automation, and keep outdated job rules like fireman and more longshoreman than needed long past their usefulness.

I've never belonged to a Union and I get them off too. Or I used to. I work for myself now.

There's nothing like experience, and when it comes to experience, I've got you beat. I've worked nonunion, and union, for others, and for myself. My experience is that employees do much better when they are organized, and there are plenty of facts to back that up. However, you aren't interested in facts, you've obviously got an agenda, an antiunion agenda.

Well, bring it on. Like I said, thanks for supporting organized labor's claims.
