Unions are so hypocritical and even more destructive in other circumstances. Unions need their own unions to protect workers.

Check out this horrible story about a union hiring poor folks for $6/hour to picket Wal-Mart while the actual people who belong to the union live much better lives. These guys are like virtual prisoners, being bused to a Wal-Mart in the middle of nowhere and basically dumped on the streets.

The shade from the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market sign is minimal around noon; still, six picketers squeeze their thermoses and Dasani bottles onto the dirt below, trying to keep their water cool. They're walking five-hour shifts on this corner at Stephanie Street and American Pacific Drive in Henderson—anti-Wal-Mart signs propped lazily on their shoulders, deep suntans on their faces and arms—with two 15-minute breaks to run across the street and use the washroom at a gas station.

They're not union members; they're temp workers employed through Allied Forces/Labor Express by the union—United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW). They're making $6 an hour, with no benefits; it's 104 F, and they're protesting the working conditions inside the new Wal-Mart grocery store.
