ChicAugur,
You did a fine job of educating those of us who dont understand the need for a union. I would agree that in the beginning Union's were neccessary to avoid greed and misuse at a corporate level, but what about today? There are many stories of Unions driving the cost of products up with unreasonable demands, disproportionate wages, and too many frills for Union employee's. The NY city workers story that recently came out sits in my mind as a prime example. It seems that Unions have become too powerful for our own good. Of course on the other side of the coin, every time one of my benefits gets cut to futher the corporate profits, a Union starts to look attractive. I was just wondering if you could shed some light on the dark side of Unions, just as you have the light side.
