Not a big fan of unions, in the instances that I've been involved in negotiating with businesses that are unionized there are so many silly rules that you throw up your hands and give up on any concept that might make a company more efficient.

I know that unions are there to support and protect the employee, however in a lot of ways they are like cancer devoring the host from the inside.

There is no concept of partnership from the union, thier concept is to squeeze until an employer bleeds.

The unions had thier day, but people are smarter and better educated now even at the most basic level and I don't see the purpose of the unions.
