And one more thing. This, taken directly from your post (#18 for the record) sure sounds like glorifying union-sanctioned murder to me:

The historical fact is that these dockworkers FOUGHT for their union, they had actual battles with strikebreakers and thugs where real people died. After the dust settled they worked out something that gave them some real wealth in return for their labor. In other words, they staked out a claim, fought for it, and have reaped the rewards.

You are drawing conclusions that are not warranted. Two groups of opposing forces battle each other, one group (management, by the way) initiates the use of force, the other group responds. Both sides suffer casualties. This is hardly what one would call "union-sanctioned murder", and I think you are being quite deceptive when you make that argument.
