At one time in this country unions played a very important role - over the years greed, corruption, and power happy unions have taken away from the employer his ability to run his own business - when one cannot run his own business he either gets out, or takes his business elsewhere. The last I remember hearing unions were bemoaning the fact that many union jobs no longer existed because the business had relocated to somewhere else. Looks to me like you should't bitch about something being gone when you were the one that ran it off!!!

Everyone has a right to be paid what they are worth for the job that they do - but when those demands exceed an employer's ability to pay they become blackmail. Unions in most parts of the country have blackmailed themselves out of existance, or are in the process of doing so.
