In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s Unions were necessary due to very adverse abuses which involved unsafe conditions and near slavery type working conditions. Todays Union Members have not a clue. Today with all things given to them above and beyond what corps can meet and afford they have become bullies and parasites upon both the private sector and governments.

A persons wages should be a private matter between the employed person and their employer or supervisor. Is it fair that a person busting their chops get paid the same as others paid to sit in rooms doing nothing? Is it fair for an employee who is a drag upon the shop to be protected and make as much or more money than a person busting their chops to get the work done? Who BTW has a right to tell me when someone can and can not work? Should a Union? If a Union has such authority then one is owned by that union. The worker due to family issues involving economics may not be able to strike.

Ever notice most Unions are ran by persons who many times do not even work in that profession wich they represent much less in that company itself? I have no sympathies for todays Unions all too often uncompromising attitudes. In the end it cost them and their community.

In a town near me the union went on strike against Boeing. They were making great money by regional standards. Oh they won their strike after being out a month or two. Within two years Boeing closed that facility and the jobs were gone. But Stupid Is As Stupid Does Union won that one by golly. They showed Boeing who was boss. /sarcasm.
