Public sector unions (about 75% now)--ALL BAD.
Private sector unions--mostly good.

This is a prime example of why we need to quickly get Police and Fire Departments privatized before they are Unionized.

I was signatory to union contracts with 5 different unions for over 40 years and contempt doesn't come close to discribing my hatred of them.

My only salvation was that I had the ability to hire and fire. By constantly hiring and firing the least competant you could raise the level of the lowest common denomenator and hopefully get quality, production and stay competative.

What are unions good for lately? Everything they claim to protect against is covered by laws and regulations.

At one time they did good things, but they have since become worse than the "evil corporations" that they fought against.

Unions are criminal gangs. They serve a purpose in the private sector, but revert to criminal corruption when allowed into the public sector.

I believe allowing government workers to be unionized was a fatal mistake, and is a primary cause of our loss of freedom.

I have been a member of the Operating Engineers for over forty years. Flame away!

That would give the public sector an operating advantage over the private sector. That would also be bad. Why should the government be immune from price fixing when the rest of us aren't?
