Rockhead, I am sure you would love to return to the days of sweatshops and 6.5 day work weeks.
Unions serve a purpose, though some have certainly gone overboard. There are good unions and bad ones, just like good bosses and bad ones. A blanket statement like yours just shows that you have no care about truth. Argue the reasonable bounds of union involvement, the specific places where unions have too often become Wackos in their own right, and you might sound rational.
This stupid generalization by you is just that--stupid.
The people have voted with their wallet already on the private unions. They simply don't buy products or services by union workers like they did before. Hence, the shrinkage to 4-5% of the private workforce and trending down.
Now, all we lack is to get them out of our government. There is no fear of sweatshop-like environments or 6.5 day weekdays so they are serving no purpose other than taking our tax dollars via the federal workers.
Due to choice, or lack of choice?
