Two wives go out, for girls' night, both got drunk. They started walking home and had to pee, they stopped at a cemetery but had nothing to wipe with. One used her panties, the other grabbed a wreath off a grave. The next morning one husband call the other and said, "no more girls night out my wife came back with no panties." The other husband said, "you think that's bad? mine came back with a card in her crack that read, "from all of us at the fire station... will never forget you!"

As Unions were banned, or forced out, a small hospital named Memorial Hospital (took up about a quarter of a block) was purchased by large corporations, one being Tennet, and the huge Redding Medical Center was built in its place. (actually I worked there a few years) The Heart Center of Northern California. Anyhow, Dr. Realyvasques and Dr. Moon ran the heart center only to be investigated by the FBI for 'performing' heart caths on people and fraudulently saying they needed open heart surgeries. Both my Grandfathers were under their knife, and neither made it out alive. One grandfather had that surgeons scalpel dropped into his lung- causing a pneumothorax (collapsed lung), where repeated surgeries to correct that. right after the open heart, caused him to lose the will to live.
Way to many were put under the knife for little to no reason, but insurances paid out and the Large Hospital flourished financially, as well as those two physicians. Fortunately they were kicked out of our State.
The Unions, as I said, were good in their day. For several reasons I sorry they are gone.

I believe, from what I can recall as a kid, the Unions protected their members on the job from frivolous firing, and conducted fair labor disputes. My dad and his dad, my grandfather, were in a Union when they did heavy construction work as building some portions of the I-5 freeway, and in the construction of Shasta Dam (originally Kennett Dam), and Wiskeytown Dam. The Unions paid well according to sk**l and ability which allowed families to prosper in the Unions day.
Now, employees are fired at the drop of a hat left and right, which causes a lot of financial collapse in families across the country. Wages are meager, and an inexperienced person can be put in a position to cause a lot of problems for everyone concerned. It's who you know, are related to, or whose back you pat in order to get a good job and advance in.
Union dues were not all that bad in view of the employment chaos we have now. Unions protected the company as well as the employee.
So, in their day the Unions had their purpose, and they served well.
