Right, and I'll add that we need unions; they're necessary for capitalism to be able to function.
Most of the discussion has been about how bad unions are, and I might have had a lower opinion of unions too if I'd have believed the title that started all this: "Longshoreman Threatens the Host (Rush Limbaugh)". Since I now know that it's not true, this thread has given me a lower opinion of union critics-- sometimes they say things that aren't true.
Our unions are run by criminals. Maybe you are defending the princeple of a union. But the unions we are speaking of are run by the mafia and socialist supports.
