Unions are completely and totally useless in the US in this day and age. Back when they first started there was a reason for them ...but not now.

Unions are BS and STRIKES are only good for bowlers. I heard part of the reason the Hardly workers are striking is cause they will also have to start contributing to their health care program with monies from their own pocket. All I can say to that is welcome to the club now quit your whining and go build those hardlies. A vested future RUB awaits your labor on HIS piece of unique Americana.

I disagree that unions are usless. There are companies run by managers so out of touch with reality that a properly run and motivated union would be of great help to everyone, including the stockholders. Unfortunately, too many union leaders are even more out of touch with reality, and are motivated by things other than the best interest of their members. Stupid management & stupid unions aren't going to fix anything.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
