A lot of workers don't like the reputation unions have picked up as lazy democratic mobsters.
Half the guys in my union are Republicans and they toss their "ballot suggestions" in the trash when they come in the mail.
PS Unions ought to sup[port bush's overhaul of overtime rules as well as the abolition of minimum wage. It'll cause a lot of people to organize in order to keep those things at their job.
All a minimum wage increase does is jack up the cost of living for union members and rduce the incentive to pay more to union members.
