Lots of fear being trumped up. Sounds great. When the marketplace is rearranging the landscape, the consumer wins. Let the competition begin. And if the unionized chains are able to best serve the consumer, then they have nothing to worry about.

The unions are destroying their own industries. I've seen it in the rust belt of the NE and MW. Steel production jobs( I was in that industry for 25 years) have migrated to the South. Ala Nucor steel in Darlington, TX about 28 years ago. Beth and US Steel sneered at the mini-mills. Now they're cranking out large cross sections that Beth could never have realized. Of course a lot of that had to do with poor management. Today, the once world's largest steel producer in Beth, PA during WWII is a seven mile long of decaying oxidation of ferrous material. My daughter went to Lehigh, just across the river of Beth steel . It's a shame to see this HUGE production facility in decay. I could go on but I can't since I used to give plant tours....
