@RepGovs unfortunately, Unions don't work all that well for people like they used too. They are now an their business. They need money to stay afloat and more of them now-a-days are that fat old guy on the other end of the see saw.

[RepGovs]

wrong, you are! it's called card check! which means union thugs can force you to vote on any number of issues (LIKE UNION DUES) the way they want you to. doesn't sound so free to me!

@whoo689 Your ignorance is obvious here, the things you say everyone should do for themselves is exactly what union members are doing for themselves. The benefit package paid to these people for insurance and retirement takes the load OFF the employers back because it is the unions responsibility to provide insurance and pension to the members. This reduces the employers management overhead and allows for the higher wages that union workers earn.

@whoo689 The unions were not at fault here, mismanagement is to blame for the auto industry meltdown. Since the government stepped in and shook up the management of GM they are now operating in the black and are opening new production facilities (that means more jobs for americans) and the union workforce is still in place. How do you spin that?

@MartyMac61 I have no doubt that in some cases you are absolutely right, but I have never witnessed anything like this in the union I belong to (UA Local 798). You are making a mistake by painting all of them with the same brush. At one point, our locals BM tried to move in that direction. We got the national association to come in and put our local back on track. The current business manager and financial secretary are close friends of mine who I know like my own family and trust more.

@798welder I was a member of 32 BJ in NY. All unions steal from their mebers bty requiring management to by into the health and welfare fund. That is a slush fund for the union big wigs. I've seen business agents knocking on members doors looking for heir hand outs. Unions are legal mafias.

@MartyMac61 As a union member for 25 years now, I have never seen this "union intimidation" you speak of. I have noticed however that the only people who knock unions are those that are not or have never been members. They only repeat the lies they have heard. Ignorance is not bliss, it is deadly.

@djxman505 Why not if it can be done better.

[MartyMac61]

@798robbie It does not protect employees from Union intimidation.

[MartyMac61]

I never met a union that didn't steal from their members.
