I'm in agreement that we are seeing a development of the two-class system. It is not economically healthy. Instead of trying to kill the unions here, I think we need to export the idea. It would help raise the work environment standards in third world countries and would make it where companies produced their products in the country that consumed them since labor costs would be more equitable. The world is strongest with a strong middle class and unions help achieve that. IMHO.

I should say I am pro-Union and pro-Non-Union. I think the system is strongest with both.

That's a very interesting idea. I've never been pro-union but after seeing the mass exportation of jobs, many of them union, shipped overseas in the last 2 decades I do have some sympathy for the union worker. Moreover just observing the corporate hucksters of late that have bilked shareholders, customers, employees to enrich themselves has strengthened in my mind the reason why unions came into existence to begin with.

Unmitigated Greed knows no class boundaries.
