GM Strike
How does everyone feel about all the GM union members on strike placing nails and screws out onto the streets that their customers who keep them employed drive on? Causing damage to multiple vehicles....

Well, you seam to think I get my info from unions. As a matter of fact, any time a politician is asking for my vote, I look at his donor list. If he is telling me something, check the list. If I see a ad paid for by dark money, I use logic, and the politician's donor list to make a guess about how well that politician will represent me. And when I have a question about the stance my rep is taking, I will ask them for a explanation. What's more, I write down what I need to remember for the next election.
So you are able to speak with every person representing you including the President?

Can you name the union where the rank and file members do not vote to decide who will represent them when it comes times to decide how to spend the money?
I was talking about political candidates. Like the example I stated earlier with my brother and IBEW where the union was giving money to politicians that don't share the same policies and values as 90% of their members. They are essentially forced to give money to get people they don't agree with to get elected.

On the macro level, before unions where widespread, maybe the church insisted business close on Sunday, but work 6 days a week was normal, and the best your kids could hope for was a job as "good" as yours. Then there was I time when a man could work 40 hours, and have money and time to enjoy something like a camping trip. After about 30 years of class warfare, we are again to the point when it is very hard for a family to get time off all the jobs needed to spend a weekend camping. But I got mine, you are on your own.
I am on my own and I prefer it that way. I became an expert in my field by my own merit which is why the last two companies I worked for sought me out to work for them. Because of this, I am able to negotiate pay, vacation, retirement, and stock options. Our healthcare sucks, but I am more than compensated in my bonuses for it. I don't want to be in a situation where someone else is negotiating my pay because I would have to make the same as everyone else that may or may not have a lower work ethic.
