An example of unions putting a company out of business as I personally observed at Eastern Air Lines and Pan Am.
My problem is trying to justify if I own a company and want to give people jobs, how can they have the nerve to tell me how much I can pay and what benefits I will provide if I'm within the law? If they don't like it nobody is forcing them to work there. As far as safe working conditions, OSHA is covering that, usually to the extreme. Just my opinion.

Agree with you 100%. And don't forget that unions have a long history of being corrupt, mobbed up and are fond of using criminal violence on people who don't agree with them, including their own members.
