Unions were the bane of America at the point businesses started leaving. It's one thing to stand up for fair wages, safe working conditions and benefits, it's another to feed the bloated union heads and insist on ridiculous wages and trying make everyone working in a plant instant millionaires.
When you're working the line and union co-workers tell you to slow down, we don't work that fast.. that is a problem since you were dragging home healthy wages and benefits. More for less became the motto.
