I guess the way things are remembered depends on a persons point of view. When oil prices collasped in the early 80's hundreds of thousands of jobs were lost in the oil producing states, these were non union jobs that dissapeared due to over supply of product, no fault of the people working those jobs. During that same time period unions were busy bankrupting steel mills, auto plants and construction companies all over the country, union members were striking and throwing away their own jobs and futures in stark contrast to the oilfiled hands who wanted to work but had no work. To top it all off, the federal government stepped in and provided billions of dollars worth of extended unemployment benefits, re-training, education vouchers, tax credits for relocation and many other benefits to the union workers who had squandered their own jobs, the oilfield hands got nothing, of course the vast majority of oilfield hands had long since found other work or got back on a rig at reduced pay or moved to where they could find a job because that is what people do who genuinely want to work.
