What part about only 15% of workers in manufacturing belong to unions don't you understand. Unions didn't bust small manufacturing as much as cheap foreign labor did. Big Labor has moved on to the permanent jobs of government employees, where the taxpayer will become the unions victim and the new "GM".
All unions must die, especially those of government parasites.
Boy, you're sure right on THAT statement!
Here in my little Southern Oregon town of some 17,000, the newly-hired city manager is being paid $110,000 a year, plus he gets two months of sick leave and a $30,000 a year HOUSING allowance!
Plus, for many years, all county managers were automatically given nine weeks vacation a year, after one year's service, and they had the right to sell half the vacation time back to the county.
And we are a supposedly broke county, so much so that the sheriff is talking about halting all sheriff's patrols and keeping only the jail duties.
Incredible...and if you mulitply that extravagent spending on government employees across the country, and you get the idea why government keeps raising taxes and is getting more corrupt...
