"Corrupt as they have become in modern times, unions brought you weekends off, Vacation Pay, sick pay, overtime and retirement pay"

Tell me how good unions are. The Pittsburgh Steelers home has no steel mills remaining. (OK, there's a small one remaining in Hazelwood a few miles out of town).

Homestead, Aliquippa, East Pittsburgh, Braddock, etc. are all gone. Thank you greedy unions.

I don't believe the unions are that strong anymore. The ones in my former venue of employment (I'm now retired) always seemed to make sweetheart deals with management behind the scenes, although they were good for filing grievances for legitimate workplace problems and management harassment of the workforce.

IMO, Management sucks. They're criminals, they all band together to save their own jobs and the jobs of their friends, lovers, and relatives. They knew how to play various union reps off one against the other. The government agencies and the legal system support management in EEO cases instead of trying to stop discrimination (age discrimination and sex discrimination suits are tough to win. Racial discrimination suits are easier to win.)

(Donning my flame-retardant suit now.)
