So every person that works a 40 hour work week, has insurance, holidays and has saved for retirement should thank the Unions?
My company pays me what I'm worth. If I don't perform, they can fire me. If I don't like them, I can go elsewhere.
Sorry. I just can't swallow that. Everyone has the opportunity to improve their self worth, make themselves more valuable, and more competitive. If you've got yourself locked into a 70 hour work week, no holidays, no insurance, no retirement, or being beaten by your boss, then you either really like what you do or need to go back to school. This isn't Russia and it's not 1940.
