If you think that the union is the reason we've had lockouts or that salaries are so high, well, I guess I have to disagree. Most people alive today don't know how things were in all industries before unionization, but it wasn't very pretty.
Yeah because making $5mill/year instead of $7mill would have been such hardship in our country. But we must "think of all our union brothers before me!" I mean Iginla would have to live in Temple or Pineridge in order to make ends meet with $5mil/year.

what garbage.
