As the son of a Union member (IBEW) I can tell you that without the Union saving our family I probably wouldn't have made it to college and certainly wouldn't be sitting here typing responses on a Porsche forum.

And all union work is not created equally. If driving one and half hours each way to a frozen jobsite in northern Indiana to work overtime on a weekend sounds like "I ain't movin'" then you really need to have your head checked. And for every good run of work theres a 6month dry spell with 150 guys on the books.

But Im just telling you what you already know. The sad fact is that in a lot of the country Unions are the only things putting food on the table and keeping the lights on.
