Uh Mark …”Why don’t you realize that the people whom ask for a union are the ones whom feel disrespected by their employers to the point of wanting a third party to speak on their behalf? ”

I might suggest, who needs a third party. Being “disrespected” doesn’t warrant a third party intervention. Unions were formed to protect workers rights 50 years ago (read /working conditions/hours) when life was much different prior to OSHA and a host of regulations, not wages. All unions do is the exact same thing the mafia did for years, protect their “territory” for a price, to maintain and raise wages…..It’s not exactly rocket science, it’s extortion

Kinda like, if you want to be president of the United States bad enough to do what it takes to become such you probably don’t deserve to hold such a high position.

Most leaders either suffer from little man’s syndrome (BushClinton) or have a bloated ego (NixonFDR). Very little middle ground (TrumanReagan).

Once again the smartest guys in the room make fools of the sheep that they are supposed to be protecting. Oh that is right, that was Enron and Ken Lay a staunch Republican whom did that so it is ok! Right??!
Again though why is it you report this with such glee?
Why don’t you realize that the people whom ask for a union are the ones whom feel disrespected by their employers to the point of wanting a third party to speak on their behalf? Nobody makes you work there, if you don’t like unions then go to work somewhere else.
When are any of us going to learn that money and power is all certain people want? Regardless if it’s a Union President or a Corporation President or a US. President there will always be men and women whom don’t care about anything but the next takeover.
But please don’t be so happy when commoners such as myself get the big screw.
We are all in for a big world of hurt when THEY take over.
