I have worked in unions for 15 years...I have seen both sides of the coin, but all in all, the Labor unions in this country have kept the wage up, insured that qualified people are used, and created a system for safe working conditions. Like it or not, these guys, crooked or not, are all that's left to fight for decent working conditions.
Right now, our esteemed el' presedente is trying to get rid of overtime. Do you really think YOUR boss would pay you OT if he did'nt have to?
