Unions jumped the shark years ago. What exactly can a union offer to an employer? Nothing. They can’t guarantee their members will show up for work, they can’t guarantee their members won’t call in sick when they’re not sick, they can’t guarantee their members will always give their best effort, they can’t guarantee their members are even qualified for the job (although some apprenticeship programs might approach this standard).
You’re so right and the 0bama Labor Dept has been completely in the tank for unions.
Unions are there to take, not only from employers but union employees, high union dues enable union leaders to live more than just nicely.
