Fortunately the workers had enough sense to know in 2011 unions serve no purpose other than padding the organizers bank accounts and the Democrat Party coffer.

Thankfully, the employees watched the video and learned that being in a union is not a benefit to anyone other than fat-cat mobbed-up union bosses.

That's kinda like hoping that China doesn't end it's institutionalized human rights abuses so that we can continue to purchase their goods cheaply.

I'd rather pay a little extra at Target and get cashiers who make a livable wage and get decent health benefits. Maybe then they'd have individuals of a higher calibre taking those jobs and valuing them enough to treat me, the customer, with a little more courtesy and care. My big beef these days, is that corporations pay workers at many retail and food outlets so little that the workers don't care about losing those jobs; subsequently, we have to deal with no eye contact, no smile, no thank yous, no please, and an occasional attitude.
