I'm not a big fan of unions....sometimes they are needed, but a lot of times they are the root cause of jobs packing up and going for cheaper labor elsewhere.

So is Walmart. And they don't even have a union!

But often union leadership starts having hot steamy butt sex with corporate management and the worker ends up getting fucked or ignored. See UFCW for details.

Yeah, fuck those 5 day work weeks, child labor laws, benefits, safe working conditions and all that other shit that we have because of unions. Who needs that, right?

Right on FORD! I'm a Business Manager for a Union, if we weren't doing things correctly, why would this aministrstion in Washington be focused on destroying us? Why would workers everywhere be afraid that their company and their job be the next lost to corporate greed leaving those workers high and dry? Every AMERICAN worker should belong to a Union, espessially now! The rights guaranteed by a collective bargaining agreement are the only rights workers have to protect themselves and their families against the 7 figure a year CEO's who could care less about them. Unless of course, the company seeks a federal termination of that CBA........like the airline workers are faced with right now!~

You got the "Big Ragu" started!

Unions a fundamentally important! No question. But Demon brings up a good point that some unions crawl into the pants of over-payed CEO's to be their lap dogs.

I used to think like some of you but then I heard a good argument. No one is forced at gun point to work at Wal-Mart or another low paying job (at least not in this country). If anyone ends up settling for Wal-Mart as a career, then they probably aren't worth paying much in the first place.

In the 90's I might have agreed with that statement, but given the BCE damaged economy, and the fact that Wal Mart may be the only option in some small towns, given their fascist business practices of forcing everyone else out of business, the reality for some people just might be that bleak.

Irony is that most places where this reality would exist would be in "red" states.

No doubt about it Nick. But, if that should happen there are several ways to make that Union accountable for its actions. Not saying that having a relationship with the company is always a bad thing either. There are Union friendly CEO's and Managers everywhere, you just have to safeguard your members with strong contract language in the event that things sour. Misrepresentation charges against a Union are few and far between though....usually the fault of the employee representative who also works for the company. Draw your own conclusion there....
