I sure hope it does die - soon! Unions are destructive to businesses - parasites.

No I don't think the UAW will die if they don't unionize foreign workers. As long as there are auto plants in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky there will be a UAW.

There are federal laws to prevent such a thing.

Knowledge is power.

Wake up and stop drinking the lib and union kool-aide.

My state thrives in large part do to the fact that we do not have many unions dragging our businesses down. Our teachers are not getting cosmetic and surgery procedures at the tax payers expense......they are educating our children as they should be doing. One of many shining examples of unions. What a joke!

Believe what you want, but there is a reason so many unions are struggling to stay above water these days. I think we are going to see a big shift away from unions starting now.
