Anyone that thinks there is a need for a union nowadays is an idiot. Unions were important back in the early 1900's when there were no labor laws. Employers could work a man as many hours as they wanted to and could reduce wages at will. If you don't believe it I suggest you watch the documentary called "The Men Who Made America" - now those were some ruthless SOBs. These days a union man will just as quickly tell you that "it's not my job" and continue to sit on his azz. Now these dumb azzes wonder why they are out of a job. Look what happened to those idiots up in Detroit all while southern auto manufacturers thrive and their employees prosper. I have no use for unions - their time has long since past.
Here is another example - all the volunteers from Texas and elsewhere who went up to Jersey and NY to help with the hurricane - guess what, they can't work because the unions are protesting their non-union presence. What a bunch of idiots.
