Supe, if anything, the union boss-union worker relationship is parent-child.

I am part of a union household and I read the monthly journals. What a waste of dues...it's just a way to subsidize union printers. A quarterly report would honestly suffice. The 6-figure bosses have also got to go.

BTW, my dad is proud IBEW, consistently improves himself, with respect to courses, exams, certifications, etc., and has a skill set such that he's working on a job that normally requires an electrical engineering degree. That's what a union's all about, representing the workers so they can have time and motivation to improve themselves while making a fair wage.

I agree with you Supe, the working class needs to be able to organize. It's truly admirable that you seek to help people like my father. But what point is too much? I really see opportunistic businessmen at the top now, feeding a line to the workers to encourage an us-versus-them mafia, guaranteeing high-paying jobs for all.
