I grew up in WV with the UMW. They have done the very same thing to WV. And liberals like Byrd and Rockefeller are working hard to make it worse!!!
My husband is an electrician and once when he was hired into a company (in michigan) that was union, he single handedly got them to get rid of the union.
All it did was reward the lazy and take money from everyones pay checks.
My husband was actually getting paid More than union scale because he was worth it. The ones who weren't worth it were getting paid money they weren't earning and we couldn't see what the union was doing for us for the money they collected from his check!
After the union went away life was great!
