without unions, i'd be forced to fly potentially unsafe aircraft or face termination. union efforts provide a legal method of recourse for such terminations

Unions suck because they allow mediocrity to get by

You basically just said you've driven a Pinto and a Yugo, so fuck cars.

unions help the middle class by creating artificially high wages, thus forcing companies to look for cheaper labor (mostly overseas these days)?

Pretty much agree with this. Greed has always been a part of the human composition but these days it is worse than it's ever been. Say what you will about Moore, but he made a pretty crazy fact more well known: your employer will even try to benefit financially from your death. That's pretty fucking disgusting and just one of many examples of the major disconnect between employee and employer as far as morals are concerned.

Unions have been affected by greed and laziness as well, but the concept can't die because the middle-class worker will become essentially powerless. Sure there are labour laws in place, but there are always loop holes and corporations have the money and lawyers to get themselves out of almost any situation.

again, what pension is funded by union dues?

that website shows just how much fucking money unions steal from people and spend on what they want to

how big is your company? how vertical is the structure? how many peopledo your job at your qualification level and will do so as a career?

I hate when OT goes on a political/economic thread spree. I really try to learn as much as possible about the various subjects, but the level of back and forth bickering and bullshit is almost impossible to sift through sometimes. Everyone thinks they know what's right, and even though this is just an internet forum and a very small sample of the US population, it represents the insane split in views among the public which the two-party system plays upon.
