They better be careful, people will discover how well America can get along with out them.

Happened to the unions here in Houston during a strike of a certain corporation's refineries back in the 70's . . . 3000+ union members go out on strike for 10 months, 1500 retained their jobs when the strike was over. Corporation discovered that they could do the same job with half the employees.

America don't need no stinkin' illegals.

Man, are unions stupid. They must know that their entire existence depends on the fact that they restrict the supply of labor, jacking up the price by keeping those unfortunate enough not to be in a union out of consideration. They usually grasp the situation perfectly, for instance when they crack the skulls of “scabs” on the picket line. But apparently they periodically forget, and don’t use the governemnt/violence to stop at all costs honest people from voluntarily making an honest day’s pay without the union’s say-so.
