I really think unions are a good thing. The first thing is job security, My husband was laid off many times as a computer programmer and they replaced him with younger cheaper help. You can't do that with a union. also unions get health insurance, and better benefits than non union shops. Just look at the teacher's salaries between union teachers and non union teachers. When I was in a union, I wasn't feeling complacent but I felt secure.
Yeah, when the teachers go on strike they say they are doing it for the children. Give me a break! The worst thing that happened to teachers is them becoming unionized. Now the crappy teachers don’t have to worry about their job.
