Well I must admit here that my pure hatred for unions came from living near Detroit and the effing UAW. I don't care who you are or what you say, most UAW employees are overpaid and while some surely have skills, to be safe, I would not let any of them change a tire on my car.

I do not doubt that Boeing has some very skilled workers/craftsmen, but I detest to the core the idea of "organized labor", so no pity from me. Non-union companies and their employees do just fine in modern times. As time goes by and the world economy continues to evolve unions will eventually die off.... I say good riddance!!!
