I've been working around unions (mostly UAW) for over 30 yrs. Companies produce a product "in spite of the union" not "because of it". Most auto plants have a "grievance king", a guy who will file a grievance (like one poster said) for picking up a candy wrapper from the floor (that's a sweeper's job). These people can spot a "contract violation" a mile away. And what happens? Grievances are routinely settled for a few hours pay to the person filing the grievance. Nothing changes. They are a nuisance to the company and a cost built into the manufacture of their product. There are rooms full of committeemen playing solitaire and Union "safety reps" which all add to the cost which every one of us who buys a Union made product pay for.
Sure they served a purpose at one point in time but there is a reason the UAW went from over a million members down to a few hundred thousand and no major automaker will build a NEW plant in Michigan (a UAW stronghold).
Every union member I know has always gloated about how much they make over non-union workers, how little they work, how much they hate their employer, how they know more about management than their bosses, how many days until retirement, how they "own" those jobs, etc., etc.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
