unions are obsolete. yes i sad it unions are a joke today. greed and criminals at the head of the unions.back in the turn of the century unions did good. today with the work place laws and such unions are nothing but greedy. always have the hands out for the dues. i was in the steel workers for three years, what a waste of my dues when the shop i worked for shut down, the union did nothing for us!just crept away since there were no more dues, why stick around and help those who paid dues for years to them. teachers unions are killing the tax payers !fire and rehire non unions teachers!!!
