Unions have too much power
I really cannot believe people that justify unions. Long gone are the days of employee abuse. Unions did serve a purpose in the beginning; now they are abusive to non-union businesses that do not desire to be in the union to fatten the cats.
The legislators that have left Wisconsin and are hiding in Illinois need to do what they are getting paid big bucks to do -- their job. They are cowards.
The rest of the world has lost jobs, taken pay cuts and reduced benefits to survive. Teachers, policemen, and firemen need to face reality like we do. Pensions and insurance deductions apply to all.
Unions are too powerful. They decide who gets into political positions. When they make that decision. then all our politicians, who are supposed to be for us, now play payback to the unions.
Business should have the right to decide whether or not they want to be unionized. I have seen tactics they use to non-unioned businesses.
Wake up. Unions are far too strong and controlling. See if they will pay your union fees if you are laid off.
Union people are not privileged!
