Beck and others been saying it for awhile now, its not the majority of union workers that are giving, and have been, unions a bad rap, its the union heads. They have elections for the leaders don't they? Are they rigged? (Kinda a dumb question maybe but if enough voted against the leadership, I don't think they could rig them)

Not sure to be honest but who knows. I was a member of the Boilermakers and Shipfitters Union when I worked at Norfolk (Portsmouth) Naval Repair Yard many years ago. When Clinton came into office and they downsized the military, many Navy yards came up on the block to be closed (part of the base closures crap)...at any rate, when union elections came up, rumors circulated that they were "stacked." Meh, no longer a memebr of ANY union.
