Declarative statements posing as questions that begin with the word "So" and end with a question mark are lame but since you post so many fine threads I'll respond.

Here's what I clearly said: Rank and file unionists are are corrupt, greedy, thugs. Toss in lazy for seasoning. The disclaimer pols use claiming it's only the leadership is a lie.

Re Reagan Dem unionists: Not imagination nor made up chimera.. just past history.

Trucking deregulation and who controlled it was part of the reason for supporting Reagan, as well as domestic drilling and energy production.
Industrial labor unions are one thing.

Public employee unions are a horse of a different color.
