I think Union leaders should be run over 40 times with a cement truck.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] Unions seem to suffer from the same curse that eventually afflicts all special-interests: they never go away, even when they've already accomplished everything they ever set out to do. Unions did a lot for workers in the UK in the first half of the last century, but ultimately they became too political. Result: the 70's were a decade of unrest, and when Thatcher came to power she proceded to destroy this country's industrial heritage in order to make certain the Unions would never again threaten the corporate interests she represented. That said, there's a lot that unions could do for worker's conditions in the US. Yet there seems to be this all-pervasive hatred of them which I just don't understand. It's more than just examples of union idiocy cited above, just something in the American character I guess. Like you associate them solely with socialism or something. [/QB][/QUOTE]
