I have never belonged to a union, however several of my best friends have for years. I don't have a problem with them either. They made their rise when things got too out of balance, and their down fall is because the pendulum swung too far the other way. The balance is somewhere in the middle that keeps changing. The only thing I have an issue with is having to pay union dues even if you are not a member. It makes as much sense as making everyone buy an NRA membership because they claim to be protecting your second amendment rights.

This company can get too busy and outsource their parts to a company about 60 miles away. This is an automated plant that is non union. They can build the same part for almost half price. Part of this difference is the automation which takes capital to purchase. It takes no imagination to see where this is all heading. Part of life is the most efficient lifestyle winning, not necessarily the best.
