didn't say unions didn't have their place......but they are at the top corrupt as the government...hell they were started by gangsters/criminals... and have done more harm than good in the long run IMO.

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.

think you have that backwards....its the unions and government that are on the down fall...only 10% of all workers are union...theres a reason for that...and I know some down here that are in the union only because they have to be in order to keep there job... wonder what % of all union workers actually want to be a member???...go figure, the United States of America and in order to keep your job you HAVE to be a union member...that my friend is ..ok we need some more humor in this thread again

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
