  1. My first industrial job, 17 y.o. at an underground mine mill taught me to loath unions. The only thing they did for me was to convince me to strike out on my own when I was 20. I laughed at the guys who said: "Slow down your making us look bad." Only yrs later did it dawn on me that they were serious. I never slowed down I just moved on. Since I've contracted for hundreds of businesses with increased conviction that unions ruin everything including management.

  2. I AM against unions but recognize the right of workers to choose while I choose to avoid them in everyway.

  3. I've contracted for "a thousand" different organizations and can smell union when 1st stepping foot in a customers operation. Your last line sums it up, they only benefit worthless "workers", causing endless conflict between management and workers, tons of wasted time and energy from both sides as tho we aren't all in the same darn boat, both sides are rowing in opposite directions. Often the entire culture becomes toxic, not a place I want to be including pettiness and wasted effort from management and a raft of workers who do the absolute minimum.

  4.  @tomcrouchman  Typical, I couldn't last a yr there and no question workers get ruined over time, so too for at least lower level management. Entire organization becomes toxic. Once was called out to do some technical repairs on unique RR track maintenance equipment, just a wk or two contract job. There were maybe 40 "men" working that section of track and none could remotely tackle what I was there for but the radios lit up with protests of a non-union, (or not their union I suppose) guy on their job. And what was the alternative? Send the stuff across the nation for the repairs at 10X the cost. And it got worse from there, fortunately the guy who called me in was courageous, hard working get it done sort who would stand up to all the threats from dozens of idiot hardcore unionists.

  5.  @lyf8  Yup...even in the 1970's the only thing unions did for the workers was prevent the deadwood from being fired like they deserved. A good man didn't need his hand held.
