Are unions a good thing?
The reason I ask is, the only thing the unions around here are good for is keeping fat lazy bastards employed. I know that there was a time and place for a unionized workforce. But I think that in today's world with OSHA and all the other federal safety stuff, all the union does is make hard to get rid of people that need to go. I have three uncles in the unions here, so I kinda have an inside line on what goes on with them. I also think that most of the cost of union labor is passed on the consumer, whatever the product.
I am not union "bashing". I just want to know what are they good for in this day and age? Other than keeping someone from getting fired, because the boss just doesn't like them.
What are your thoughts?
