I see unions as something that were necessary once upon a time. My grandpa was a coal miner. Company town, company store, company housing. You couldn't just go work for someone else and this was at the end of the Depression. A union was the one lever they had. Now days this isn't so and you can always pack up and move.
Today, Unions seem bent on pricing their workers out of a job. Take the Baseball Players Union for example. I know a number of people who have switched to minor league ball because it is cheaper, the games are more fun and the players are nicer. They are pricing themselves out of the market. What the market will bear is a two-edged sword and Major League Baseball is about to find the edge nice and sharp.
