While this thread is about the unions. In Houston there was a Union hall that was build some years back. They had it build by non union contractor since their price to build was cheaper. After it was finished there was all kind of noise about a non union contractor building a building owned by a union. I think it was a trucker union, but still a union

Unions are destroying America. The pendulum has swung too far in the unions favor. If unions really existed to "protect the workers rights (whoever said a pension or any benefit was a right) so they don't get screwed by greedy contractors" that would be fine. But the biggest source of greed in America today is in the unions. Unfathomable, unbridled, off the scale greed. It is not executive compensation that is destroying GM, it is the unions. It is not "greedy mgmt" that has destroyed the manufacturing base in America, it is the unions.
Unions were a great idea when pay was 10 cents a day for a 15 hour day, 7 days a week. Now they have gone too far in the other direction. It is self correcting tho, millions of unionized workers have lost there jobs as manufacturing moves over seas and as the American auto industry self-destructs, all thanks to the unions.
No rational person can believe someone should be paid $150 to plug in an extension cord, and a system where these type of abuse happen is bound to fail (like GM)
