Bdcause the end result is the cradle to grave socialist state. Getting paid not to work? What's not to like?

It’s not a “stick”; it’s a “pike”.

Just what do you think Union Leaders see as their primary responsibility?

-- It isn't jobs
-- It isn't worker health and safety
-- It isn't pay
-- It isn't benefits
-- It isn't opportunity

Having studied unions (as a bit of a twisted hobby of sorts) for the past half century the one thing that is irrefutable about unions: Union Leaders see their No. 1 priority -- their No. 1 responsibility, a duty above all else: Preservation of the union.
