It's not that I disagree with the concept of a union, but I have seen it first hand. They make everything more difficult, more costly and less efficient. I saw no count dead beats doing nothing all day and earning the same pay as me because of that union. Never again. The UAW is an artifact of an era past. <BR/><BR/>The only unions in the future will be in government, which come to think of it will have a stake in every industry....crap, so I guess I can forget that theory.Daniel Shorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687888014105537259noreply@blogger.com
