Why is it that the right to work states are undergoing economic recovery so much better than those whose antiquated laws support the unions? Why is it that those states get new auto industry (be it foreign or domestic)?
I'm all for a union of workers, but when that union becomes legally protected (ie cannot hire a non-union employee for certain jobs / all employes must join the union or be terminated by management) and self serving, rather than serving the needs of workers, its gone to far.
The classic American union has become far too strong, far too politically motivated, and has all but abandoned there purpose. I challenge the assertion that there is not someone as equally as qualified as a union employee willing to do the job for the same price.
When Wal-mart sets prices from its suppliers and tells the suppliers to basically take it or be out of luck we as Americans are alarmed. When the gas companies decertify plants, form questionable partnerships, and appear to control the supply to effect the rpice we are alarmed? When we here of price fixing we are alarmed? When we hear of industry contributing millions of dollars to politicians in an effort to get "friendly" laws passed, we are alarmed. Why do we not hold the American labor unions to the same standard of economic accountability as we do corporate America? Why do they get a free pass?

This one is easy 
. It is the Mob connections. Sure there is no overt relationship today, but this is how the unions formed political ties. Thats why I love the Democratic Party, good ole Kennedy(s), Daily(s), and the illegal trade of alcohol with it's income laundered through the unions (who support and are supported by the Democrats and the Mob). Teamwork! I love the system!
