I tried to respond to the union/anti-union post but it didn't work, not sure why.
Someone posted that they were proud that no one engaged in the conversation. What is there to be proud of?? It seems a little ridiculous that you are afraid to discuss on a discussion board.
I'd like to step up and give my opinion on the topic. I've worked with dozens of union outfits and dozens of non-union outfits. (as subcontractors to me)
The unions started out as a positive thing and have turned into a behemoth parasite that feed off the living. I've heard all the arguments for both sides (quality, safety, steady workforce, union pride) and could tell you a zillion stories to prove my point ( and also to point out the exceptions). But it boils down to one fact that any honest union worker will tell you---unions want you to work as little as possible. Make it take longer and bring more money into the coffers.
This one principal goes against everything I believe in---a hard days work for an honest days pay.
