Unions sure suck, don’t they? Back in the days, 150 years ago, when a mine owner controlled a company town, or when there were 80 to 100 hour weeks in textile factories, they were a good thing. Over time, they became corrupt power centers of their own, rife with mob influence.

They sucked so bad by WWII that it took Lucky Luciano to make the docks run right during the war.

And, don’t get me started about the SEIU... even socialist FDR said that the government could not be unionized. Thanks JFK, for making it possible. /S
