I would be union, but I'd rather be in a job with more room for compromise so it doesn't go to China.
Unions are dinosaurs. Few people naturally hate unions. It's just that unions have become so disconnected with reality. They have only themselves to blame.

Mix that up with someone like Krugman's assessment that the dollar needs to be about 65% of the value it was in 2005 and you'll be getting $.43 on the dollar...

The union toads still spew their nonsense. Walker wiped the floor. Folks are tired of seeing their tax dollars go to these folks with their cush jobs and then on top of it whine constantly about wanting more.
