My Grandfather was Blackballed by Ford and had to move his family with 3 young boys to a different state to get work because of his Union activities in the early 1920s.
He was known to pick people up by the seat of their pants and throw them outa the house if they were anti-union...
All U would have to know is how Ford treated their employees before the Unions to understand how he felt.
The Unions enabled the average Joe in America to become Middleclass....
BUT as the ORGINAL LEADERSHIP lretired and the 3 or 4 generation leadership took over...Unions devolved in being nothing more than a large corporation thats product is the supply of Labor. When was the last time the Union fought for a guys job on the floor, but ever threaten to touch the Pension or Helathcare Funds and on strike they go...
