There are rheems of anecdotal evidence to support your statement Barry, and, I would agree that unions have gone too far. But, look back in history where company goons killed and maimed workers who simply wanted safe working conditions. Do we want to return to those thrilling days of yesteryear when children worked in sweatshops for 10 cents an hour? To the time when, if you were hurt on the job, you were fired with no recourse? When you were worked like a borrowed mule for 10 to 12 hours a day fgor $8.00 a week? with no health benefits at all? You have a better chance of getting rid of a crooked union boss than a crooked company boss.
