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.

True that Unions are not perfect. Nothing is. But, they work well in Germany, but not in America. Harley Davidson went broke and was purchased by UNION WORKERS. A person can make a case for unions (I do). And a case can be made against them. In general Americans talked about their NEXT GENERATION getting better from WW2 until about 1970. When Unions started losing members and power then each newer generation has succeeded LESS than the generation before it. Until today when we are on the brink of total rule by the top 10 %.That is not a world like I grew up in.
