I hope that someone as f&%&^$g stupid as you hasn't reproduced. Unions certainly aren't perfect but they have given much more to this country than have ignorant dupes that buy into every anti-union message written or spoken.
Continued erosion of health care benefits will continue to under mind the social compact and the health and spirit of this nation.

Don't sugar-coat it; tell us what you really think.

Unions force employers to pay more for under-performing workers. The employers are then forced to raise prices to pay for the slackers.

Other non-union companies reward employees based on performance, and fire the workers who fail to perform. These companies get more for their money, and can sell their wares at a lower cost than union companies. And we, the consumers, get better products, cheaper.

Unions served a role 50 years ago, but now they are a drag on themselves, their employers, and the economy. They are going extinct, and rightly so.

BTW, it's not "under mind," but "undermined."

I see you are ready for non-union employment.

Would you please fill me in about the social compact you write about. I thought you work, you get paid and your supposed to save for a rainy day.
I'm feeling under minded.
I subscribe to the idea of marry for money. It's a better system then voting for handouts. Kings and Queens have beat mobs in the harsh light of history.

The retirees have nobody to blame but the Unions. It is the Unions that negotiated for lower wages up front in exchange for unfunded future promises.
