"Unions are what saved the working class from slavery and existing like peasants. You can thank Unions for a living wage, a 40 hour work week, health insurance and paid vacations...all things employees have come to expect. And, they should."
Unions had their place in time, as did many things. Past achievements do not make them relevant today.
Slavery of blacks is what allowed the creation of large-scale agriculure in much of this country - yet we are not allowing it today.
Steam power enabled the industrial revolution in this country, yet we now get by with better alternatives.
History is full of inovations that eventually became anachronisims.
The public education system is crippled and dumbed-down thanks to powerful teachers unions. Many government and industrial jobs offer more-pay-per-skill level due to the unions.
If making a profit "isn't a sin" as you say - along with that, staying competitive should not be a sin either, and often - to do so - a company needs to hire and fire as needed, and . . . pay a wage that is competitive with the entire marketplace. Got a Union job that you think is barely fair? Fine, then post that union job on the open market and see how many non-union people will do the job for less and be grateful for the chance to do so.
I quit the Teamsters and the IBEW years ago and did fine on my own. I also don't need some union being a mouthpiece for my personal politcal views.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
