Here's something else. Are you sick and tired of the following commercial:
"Support Union Local xxxx. We are the heart of what makes the city run..."
Or some other conceited garbage like that.

-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

The United Mine Workers, The International Assosiation of Machinist and Aerospace Workers, and The Pipefitters have all represented members of my family over many years. The IAM took Carbide workers here in the valley from 1:10 an hour to abot 4:00 an hour, after a seven month strike. Our family of 8 ate a lot better after that strike.
I wasn't born when most of the family were miners, only one cousin is working in the mines now. His father had insurance to cover the Black Lung he contracted working in low coal. My father worked it in his younger days, and did his father and step father.
I don't pretend that there are no problems with Unions, I know what the Mine Workers can be like, and the Teamsters, which some of us have been in also, but if it were not for unions, we would all be working ourselves to death for little or nothing, like the miners in West Virginia were doing before the UMW came. It is not all peaches and cream, but the people in the union make the union, and it will be as good or bad as it's members.
