"Keep it up unions....."
You bet. Just look at what they did to Enron. Wait a minute that was the CEO and CFO at work. Well look at what the unions have done to the mutual funds industry. Wait again. That was the senior managers working their magic. How about the $600 millions stolen at Tyco. Who would guess? The CEO and CFO once again. Look what the unions stole from Perrigan. My bad. The CEO and CFO again into the fraud pot.
Do you really expect Americans to live in cardboard shacks so we can with Mexican wages.
You first Amigo. Personally I want the sewers running under ground, not down the middle of the streets.

So the answer is...send the CFO jobs south of the border?

I don't see your point.

The unions cause much more damage than if you add up all of these extreme cases you list. The auto industry is a great example, if you compare efficiency, the UAW plants take 2 times as long to assemble a car than the non UAW plants. That is killing the American auto companies. At the same time, they demand garunteed jobs and job growth. The ultimate goal of all unions is to be the least efficient labor resource available and to set up a contract that does not allow the company to become more efficient. All that does is make that company uncompetitive and it will eventually be killed by the more efficient company. The end result is the loss of ALL of the union jobs!

You do have a point that in recent years greedy ceo's and money managers have been able to bilk investors out of a whole lot of pesos. And I rather liken them to the unions and their greedy managers who have been doing that to companies(and their investors) for a whole lot longer. I saw them destroy the steel city and I have seen them destroy the education system in this country so that many of our children are about as educated as the ILLEGALS who are being invited to stay. I have as much respect for unionsm as I do a rat turd.

A union apologist on a conservative forum.

Who woulda thunk it?

Look what they did to Michigan autoworkers. The unions have chased a majority of the production out of MI. Sure CEOs and CFOs, etc. have done their share, but the unions are supposed to protect workers and their jobs not chase them away. That is not the case with CEOs & CFOs, their jobs are to run the companies. The dishonest ones do deserve to be punished, but to villianize all heads of companies because of a hand full of cases is wrong.

Also don't forget the democrats, WHO gave us the excessive regulations on industry, the did. Who gave the high taxes on industries, they did.
