Gangster/criminals...you should understand what gave rise to the unions; white collar management acting like gangsters/criminals. Human nature is just what it is, it'll happen again and it's happening right now in the white collar ranks.

I think what upsets alot of people (at least it upset me) is watching more and more of their union dues go to supporting political candidates instead of actual representation. After all when was the last time you saw a union exec. on strike and out of work?
As far as this story goes, I see real trouble brewing.... I heard the crabs were forming their own union:lolhit:
