Dear smoothsailing, I am not at all comfortable with the idea that unions have no useful purpose.

Thank you so very much for writing -- and for the valuable link!

My pleasure betty! In truth,I don't condemn individual unions per se.

My concern has to do with corruption,whether it be in organized labor,or government for that matter.When either one shows evidence of promoting a socialist agenda that is detrimental to capitalism and free markets,well then that is bothersome.
