I've worked about equally on both sides of the isle...And I don't deny there is abuse within the ranks of the union...That shop steward should have been fired, btw...
Just looking around the Country...There are well over a thousand new billionaires in the world as of this week...Now they are trying to predict who with be the first Trillionaire...They expect it to happen within the next couple of years...
Right to work doesn't increase employment opportunies...RTW lowers wages and working conditions...And as I said, it will put a lot more people on welfare which we will have to pay for...

That is debatable! I submit that if US unions were really for their US citizen workers, they would not be working to organize the illegal aliens who have come here and ARE DEPRESSING WAGES. What unions have done is elevate wages in jobs where those wage levels are not appropriate. Here in Northern California, we have our rapid transit workers (mostly black I might add) who, with benefits make nearly $100,000 for sitting on their asses on the trains just in case the ATC falls. And the original legislation ( promulgated back in the 1960’s) requires that these workers be paid no less than the most highly paid transit workers anywhere in the country. Unions have driven this country out of the steelmaking business and are in the process of making sure that we don’t make any cars here anymore either. The recent problems with the “Big 3” (and let’s not let Ford off the hook, because they were a hair’s breadth from going down with GM And Chrysler), are mostly related to these companies inability to fund their pensions for retired workers. Indexed pensions here in CA will ultimately put our state government in bankruptcy. All thanks to union greed and weak-kneed management.
