...unions are not supported by the government or tax dollars, they are supported by the membership at a rate (typically) of 2 hours pay per month per member...and it costs money to run a union...and unions do have to politic for regulations and fight in the courts against unfair labor practices and what not, just like any other industry (except our pockets aren't as deep as most)...and as far as being outdated, in 99% of the cases we're just trying to keep what we've earned to this point...not to regress!!...we are tired of management telling the world it's because of us (labor) that they can't (supposedly) make a profit while they are cutting 6 and 7 digit checks for themselves!!...wtf is that??

Ron, I dont deny that unions had their place, but its a historical place, like that of the musket. when they reduce the ability of business to work, create money, and pay people, hold back the higher achievers, thats unfortunatly why they are a barier to their own members. now they are a business, with slogans and marketing like any other, but only a business, out to make money, not create what they claim.
