No, just because you demand I believe every word of what you say are facts about unions does not make them facts. After all, I don't have the slightest idea what you learned authority over how labor unions typically operate. I also have no idea as to why you have such deeply ingrained hate and resentment against labor unions.

You obviously aren't part of a union or you wouldn't say that. Sounds like you are bitter and wish you were though lol Seriously, unions are not like that.

Unions are organized crime. The mob built vegas with union pension money. They are the definition of corruption. If you don't think so then you just aren't and haven't been paying attention.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Two San Francisco Bay Area transit unions are set to go on strike and shut down one of the region’s major train systems if they don’t reach agreement on a new contract.
Bay Area Rapid Transit’s two largest unions issued a 72-hour strike notice Thursday evening. That means train service that serves more than 400,000 commuters each weekday could be shut down during the Monday morning commute if a deal isn’t reached over the weekend.

The conservative position is that Americans should make less money.

Whenever there is a story about a union or workers striking or workers wanting higher wages, the official conservative position is no, those workers shouldn't get higher wages.

Look, the reality is in this nation many of the jobs that we think of as good paying jobs didn't start out that way. They were made into to good paying jobs by workers demanding higher wages, by employers wanting to pay their workers higher wages to some extent and by the government ensuring that workers had rights with their employers.

That's why I mentioned the car, I'm not at the mercy of someone else This is why Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, disruption of the service ripples through the entire economy. If you have a job like this in the public sector you should not be allowed to strike, simple as that.
