And when thousands of people lose their jobs, will the a55holes who are pulling six figure incomes at the union headquarters lose theirs? F-no they won't. Scumbags.

If Union members would only get it together...I mean, when strikes happen, and the membership doesn't get paychecks? What if the union leadership didn't get paychecks as well? I suspect the negotiations would then become more honest...
More and more in the past, with smaller biz operations, you'd see ownership close the plant over caving in to union demands that would result in the same thing happening anyway. It was bound to trickle up to "big biz" sooner or later...the old straw that broke the camel's back.
