Ya, unions suck. Who needs a 40 hour work week or vacation or medical insurance or seniority protection or a retirement program. Employers were more than willing to part with their profits to provide these benefits on their own. And pay? No protection needed there either. Inflation offsets would have been part of the high paying policies I'm sure.
Yeah, because without unions we'd have none of that today. Actually, I agree with that statement, however times have changed and they are no longer necessary. Quote:

All companies owe is to pay market wage for whatever work you are doing for them. That's it. Anything else is a perk. Quote:

Who is demonstrating selfishness here?
Good question I'll throw that one to the jury....
Who is selfish:
1. The person who goes out and makes a living and only asks to have enough to take care of him and his family
2. The person who wants to reach into the working man's pocket BEFORE he gets to take care of his family, at the threat of jail, to take care of their STANDARD OF LIVING?
