Unions have their minions so indoctrinated, they aren't capable of having an independent thought. All you'll hear is "return of sweat shops", etc....Truth is, almost every documented case where a union was pushed out of a business, conditions IMPROVE, wages IMPROVE, stability of the business itself IMPROVES. I worked almost 40 years as a union carpenter. A popular phrase I heard over and over is, "Expand the work at hand to fit the time available". In other words....slow down and take as much time as possible. Unions tout the quality of their work. Nonsense. Quality is usually lower.
