Right, like I said public sector unions could use a major leadership change.Unions brought us weekends,8 hour days,overtime,etc.Construction unions are run fairly well.If you're good you work a lot and make decent money.There's not much room for slackers,it's almost military.It costs an employer $480.00 per day per guy for us.
If I remember correctly, Unions first appeared in an effort to limit children's work days to 12 hours, in Canada. They (the children) were later limited to a six-day week. They (the unions) helped a lot of people, until they (the unions) became political in nature.
