in addition to my personal experiences with unions, this is why i don't like unions in a nutshell

sixate, why don't you find a new job if you hate it so much. Is it cause you don't want to lose your seniority?

the union limits the potential of the company to succeed but eliminating motivation for it's employees to succeed. Your benefits are directly and solely proportional to the amount of time you have been there (which in the union is undoubtedly indefinite - assuming you don't kill one of your co-workers). You view your employer who pays you as the enemy, and the union who does nothing but take your money as your savior.
This is sort of microcosmically (would that be a word??) my main problem with liberalism in general. Those in power, as much as they scream to care about the little guy, need the little guy to need them. Throw 'em a couple bones, make them believe they can't do it on their own.
The argument that if you don't like the union find another job, what's that about. The union doesn't frickin employ you. What if you already like the job. Like one of the previous posters suggested, if your dumb enough to let yourself get taken advantage of......who's fault is that. If that's occuring, then you shouldn't like the actual "job", get off your ass and find a new one.
