koan, when I was a kid I read, "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair and it gave me a perspective on why unions were necessary and how they had helped create a middle class in the U.S. Then, when I was in college I had to go to work to pay for the rest of my college and I got a job in a steel mill. At that time I learned how perverted and distorted unions could make things. At first I worked like crazy and I was flattered that they picked me for every job. Then a guy told me that they picked me because I was one of only a few that would actually work. I learned that merit didn't exist there. Seniority was the ONLY thing that mattered. They say that power corrupts and that's what happens to unions when they get too much power. Workers need representation but businesses also need to be able to present their case. In New York City they have a "warehouse" for incompetent teachers. They don't want them in a classroom but the union won't let them fire them. You don't think that's right, do you? Things need to be balanced.....
