Spending time criticizing Unions and not Management (Corporate Malevolence) is a joke.
Lots of jokes going around.

why should unions not be held accountable? They have become the same overfed pigs that their management brethren where always accused of. Personally, I think both management and unions can be extremely painful to stomach in many instances. But just because unions hide behind this brotherly-love mantra doesnt make them any less evil.[/b][/quote]
Why should Unions be held accountable when so often management isn't? Unions are responsible for lack of productivity and responsibility? Boo hoo, that's nothing compared to 'Corporate (lack of) Responsibility'.
Why is being lazy worse than exploiting foreign labour or making off w/ the company's resources via "Golden Handshake" retirement/termination packages?
Don't get me wrong, innefficient Unions that screw over their own companies and members are probably not the best intstitutions these days. My peeve is that this board specifically spends a lot more time bitching about workers and their laziness than Corporate ethics and exploitation. If 'both sides can be extremely painful to stomach', where's the anti-management talk? I don't see an 'equal' distribution of blame here, I see it falling squarely on Union shoulders.
I guess that's a sign of the place/time we live.
