Never worked in a union, have you? Didn't think so. I have. Friend of mine just finished a union job, taking down a big chunk of a refinery in Philly. Worked all winter. 12 hours a day. Outside. 7 days a week. In all kinds of weather.

While you were inside, warm and comfy, listening to whatever squawking head you listen to, he was working. Hard. Harder than you probably have ever worked in your life.

Jeebus, some of you guys don't know nuthin' about nuthin'...
What does that have to do with a union? Unions where created to give power to the “little guy” so that “big business” would not walk all over them. In the past, unions where a great thing. But, with all the laws out now, they truly server no purpose. My father worked under one for years and each month paid his union dues. As he told me, the money he spent to be in one, never equaled what he got back.

People should not be allowed to be in unions once they hit a certain pay grade for the industry. Period.

Seondly public employees should never have been allowed to unionize. Due to this we now have huge pension deficits and all us taxpayers are going to get hosed on our retirement just to pay for these lazy ass pub. employees to get 90% of their salary and health bennies when they retire at 50-55
