"I hope this thread does not degenerate into Limbaugh style union bashing, using generic talking points."

Why not? Truth hurts? Fact is is unions are dying because they are corrupt and survive by exploiting class warfare - socialist style.

Who gives a rat's behind about Sweeney's role in failing unionism...unionists are all alike...that is why they belong to union hives.

Sad how people do not go beyond cheap rhetoric. Here is a question, if unionists were all alike, then why were union members key to Reagans victory in 1980? Why did Bush get over 40% of union members vote last year?

Like it or not, a large number of union members have helped bring issues such as 2nd amendmnets rights and the abortion issue to the political forefront, because these are issues they deeply care about, so much for your theory that they all are alike.
