All things in moderation. I would not want to see the country return to the robber-baron days, nor do I want to see an economy dominated by teamster type organizations. Either extreme would be a disaster. Ya gotta remember....we, as stockholders and consumers pay the salaries of management to negotiate and not to simply cave in to demands because "it's the easy thing to do". Their job is to keep costs in line and the union 's goal is to get everything it can. Negotiation should be such that neither rules completely. There have been abuses on both sides over the years but the unions would not be (a) as powerful or (b) so endangered IF management had done its job.
