I have to agree. I think the idea of unions was to protect abused workers
from
low pay and long ours. Since the beginning, the pendulum has swung way in
favor
of unions. The biggest thing I see is plants closing down in urban areas,
and
moving to cheaper rural areas. And then from there, just overseas. I would
wish
they would find a middle ground, where they can both be happy. I am not
against
unions, but I have seen some friends lose lifetime jobs in plants, where
they
where making $25 per hour, and the plant closed and moved to NC, and hired
workers at $8-10. Now, they can't find any work for unless it's $10-15.

$10/hour is MUCH better than 0$/hour!
