Well well well, some folks believe labor unions improve the plight of the working man. That was true way back when but I think unions have outlived their time. That is why they are shrinking.

It used to be that there was an excess of labor and greedy employers took advantage of this for cheap labor (see Bound for Glory or read The Grapes of Wrath). Now there is a shortage. I saw a guy being interviewed in the unemployment line on TV. He had his stylish jacket and his walkman on. The took off the earphones long enough to say "I ain't goin to bend over an pick sumthin' up off tha groun' man."

Now days it is the illegal aliens getting boarhogged instead of the Okies. That could be fixed if the minimum wage was raised to at least $10 per hour for citizens and the law that forbids hiring illegal immigrants was enforced.
