My brother is a union steward, and I have heard his rants about worthless,drunken workers he is forced to defend against all logic and fairness.But he will not take a stand for management-lest the EVIL owners regain controll of the company they sweated blood to bring into life.
There is no "cure" for willfull stupidity.
Are we a free country or have we devolved into socialism?
Sorry to inform you, but I think your brother's actions (or lack thereof) is a major part of the contributing factor of your hatred for unions.
