"So, again, do you object to unions?"

             The unions to which I've belonged did very little for the rank and file members, but made sure the union management was very well taken care of. Now that I'm in management--business not union--I see the rank and file members always have to take a smaller parte of the pie, while the people who are supposed to be looking out for them still get their cut. But no, I do not object to unions. I think what we are seeing here is a result of what Reagan did to unions in the 1980's.
             The problem was, he couldn't do anything about public unions, so now public jobs pay more and provide better benefits than private ones, unless you're Lloyd Blankfein.

             I've been given to understand, however, that SEIU has a number of members who are lot legally in the country. That should not be allowed, and that's what makes them dangerous.
