I find nothing wrong with private sector unions in companies that are not monopolies or in the too big to fail category.
The problem is with public unions who are in a monopoly situation and with unions that are in companies that are too big to fail because then they can blackmail the public for almost anything they want.
But private sector unions not in a monopoly and not too big to fail have a vested interest in having the company succeed and not fail. Bankruptcy is the ultimate check on union power here.
So I do not like the bashing of the Kroger unions here.
Tell that to GM and Chrysler. They were private and yet too big to fail.
A pox on unions they bring nothing but misery.
