[QUOTE="badrinker, post: 1983398, member: 3822"] My dad belonged to a union for 20 yrs, my father-in-law (whom I'm now closer to than my dad) successfully helped break up a large union, so I've heard both views over the years. My take would be that unions at one time were very needed, many job conditions were far more dangerous than they needed to be, unions helped improve that, and helped give many workers a "living" wage. Their need today is greatly lessened. The general populance is more educated and much more able to reach out to others when/if needed due to improvements in transportation and communication. IMHO the biggest problems with unions is when they overstep their bounds. They have no need to protect the lazy/incompentent worker. They have no need to inject themselves into the political process. If they stayed true to their original purposes of protecting their workers, I don't think anyone would object to a union (well, maybe a few greedy owners). [/QUOTE]
