Oh hell...now you've done it.

Unions have been one of the biggest reasons this country is in trouble...look at the failures of the UAW to work with the Big Three...did you forget last fall when they refused to back off increases, double pensions, assinine paper-overtime rules...rules that required the companies pay people full wages after they were laid off?

Honda, Toyota, M-Benz and BMW have all done just fine in this country by staying non-union, and go figure...their employees are happy and have voted down unions numerous times in election...secret ballot elections rather than clandestine card checks.

So, to sum up...bullsh!t.
