I have been saying for years...unions happen to companies that deserve them. Now whether or not the continue to be beneficial after the reason they got voted in is subject to a lot of debate.

Labor unions can be counterproductive and counter-freedom but so can big management. They are threats to each other.

I suppose unions can also be a balance against big government.

I hated having to be a member of ILWU but it was a good summer job during college.

I spoke with the treasurer — a nice man — once on the phone to ask how to submit a medical exam (had a bad infection) to the insurance and he helped me immensely.

Within the hour the entire Union office was slaughtered but the union President just happened to go out for coffee. Right.

He eventually was tried for procuring murder and set (at the time) the record for taking the 5th - more than 100 times.
