All states should be right to work states.

Unions are for socialists.

Stupid SOB's think management pays their salaries, when management just pases the cost on to the consumers.

For that very reason,$100,000 grand in a unionized hellhole like San Francisco is peanuts.

From another article
As part of the contract offer, union members would have received an increase in pay and health care coverage with no premiums and no deductibles and a $1 billion increase to the union's pension plan.
The shipping lines offered to reopen the West Coast ports if the union agreed to a 90-day contract extension to finalize the new contract, Sugerman said.

``It is time to settle this contract dispute,'' PMA President Joseph Miniace said in a letter to union president James Spinosa. ``This is a $1 billion offer ... Let's open the ports tomorrow. It's time to put the nation's interests ahead of ours.''

This makes my blood boil. The whole country should be outraged that 10,000 selfish SOBs are costing jobs all over the world. Bush needs to bust these !#& @$ and make sure no union can ever hold this country hostage again.

Go ahead and bust the unions. While you're at it, why don't you roll back the gains non-union workers enjoy because of the battles fought by unions on behalf of all workers. Better give back your vacation pay, your sick pay, and get ready for your 72 hour work weeks buster.

Sure there have been abuses and corruption in unions, but I think on balance, the good that's come from unions outweighs the bad. You can't name one organization of thousands of people that has not been abused or corrupted in some way and unions are not an exception.

P.S. I run a business, I'm not a union member.
