What unions? Did the UAW opt to build SUVs instead of compacts? Did the IBEW bring in undocumented workers for the construction industry. The only american union with any powwer is the Teamsters, and less than 9ne third of them are organized.You want unions? how aboutt he AMA? The american bar association. Wake up, that old song dont work no more! There are far less union workers in this country than before, and there power is almost nil. By the way the OCAW did not shut down 6 refinerys in northern indiana. That bank that failed in california was not caused by union activity. Its chasing the quick buck,and forgetting what trouble that causes that is hurting us. WE need to bail out that bank, isn't that welfare also?
