I'm not saying unions are entirely bad, and they DO have a purpose, it's just that it's kind of slowly added up to start being a bad thing. I think it was GM or Ford was paying like 4.5 people to do 1 person's job with pensions and benefits and all that.

which isn't surprising considering gm gave out tens of millions in CEO salary while claiming a couple billion dollar loss. Bad management is bad management.

what gets neglected in anti-union propaganda is that workers want a company to succeed. It doesn't make sense for a labor union to negotiate contracts that bankrupt a company. Those kinds of dumb decisions usually come from upper management banking on a 3% profit increase netting them hundreds of thousands, or even millions in bonus dollars.

one of the biggest hurdles our economy is facing is slash and burn economics where a minority of upper management people realize they can inflate, profit and get out.
