what have the unions done IN THIS CENTURY?
NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. except kill off poor jimmy hoffa.
where did you guys put him, i'm sure his union hall buddies and his family would love to give him a good old fashioned union send off. (notice i DIDN'T SAY christian burial)
by the way, i know people today who VOLUNTARILY work ten to twelve hours a day. they are called BUSINESS OWNERS. i'm one of them.
i won't have unions in my place of business. they have no place here. they are not needed and they are not welcome. my employees would rather not be union. they'd rather be paid better WITHOUT paying union dues.
my company provides legal research to attorneys and local governments. it's thriving, especially now that the laws are changing so quickly.
maybe you can get the attorneys to unionize. (maybe not, even attorneys have standards.)

everything you list, everything, was passed by congress OVER THE LOUD VOCIFEROUS OPPOSITION OF THE UNIONS.
8 hour days was passed BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR. i'll bet your union never told you that. look at history, you'll see that unions OPPOSED all those changes because THEY HAD TO PAY FOR THEM.
by the way, you'd better stay out of tall buildings in washington d.c. they were all built by GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS WHO WERE NON-UNION.
stay out of buildings built between 1932 and 1940, they were all built by the w.p.a., non-union.
stay off of the roads in michigan, they were built by NON-UNION road workers, except the truck drivers. some of those workers were PRISON INMATES.
get off your harley, as they are a NON-UNION SHOP.
your legislators are NON-UNION, except the democrats who were elected by unions, but still don't do what the union slugs tell them to do.
your cozy little 'worker's paradise' is shrinking, not growing. the auto manufacturers are going out of the country to avoid any contact with you, companies are going out of their way, even out of state, to avoid dealing with you.
even walmart will not deal with you. you guys must be doing SOMETHING WRONG.
several cities IN MICHIGAN have city ordinances that promote NON-UNION LABOR in contract negotiations over LABOR UNION'S WASTEFUL PRACTICES.
in other words, IT DOESN'T SAVE THE TAXPAYER MONEY TO HAVE CITY GOVERNMENT USE UNION LABOR. it doesn't save MY money to use UNION LABOR.
you squirm in your bed worrying about when are we all going to figure this out.
too late. it's been done. union labor is just too expensive. you've been replaced. other companies from 'right to work' states are willing to do a BETTER JOB for LESS MONEY.
they will get the jobs you once had.
