    Read my post on the previous page.

    Not only am I not working for a union, but I'm in no way involved with labor law, nor do I ever intend to do labor law. Saying that lawyers make the most off of unions is, for lack of a better term, silly. It's the type of generic "blame-the-lawyer" ridiculousness that comes from someone who doesn't know to what extent lawyers are involved in or how much they profit from labor disputes.

    I never said that was what you did or what you were going to do. Yes, lawyers do make the most money off the unions they represent and a large number of union heads are former lawyers as well.

    When you take away dues, most workers make about 25 to 50 cents extra per hour. That doesn't include the lost overtime that they aren't allowed to receive because of the union contract or the fact that they are unable to receive a raise or bonus based on merrit anymore. Unions hurt good workers in that way because they aren't allowed to make more or do more.

    Back to the lawyers. I can guarantee you that they are making more than 50 cents an hour.

    unions were necessary in 1904 when little johnny was working in a pittsburgh steel mill for $1 a week, without safety goggles etc...

    but like most things they've gone way too far and are a detriment to productivity in most cases.

    one of the things that crippled the auto industry was the uaw. trust me, i saw it with my own eyes when i worked at a ford plant. throw in affirmative action and you have trouble.

    much cheaper to manufacture overseas...

    off to work to help people who refuse to work...but can.

    clap best post on the thread. Good job, buddy!

    Yet cars are still manufactured here in both RTW states and non-RTW states.

    I'm not saying they are "good", but maybe their "bad" is being a little overstated since it seems other factors weigh more into the production process than whether or not the workers are unionized.

  • Unions arent good or bad. They are a way to let your company know you are serious though. I went through a campaign just a year ago. It was an interesting timr
