Because you two have experienced the hardship of
gruelling blue collar work, you've come to the conclusion that.

1. Unions are unreasonable

Absolutely wrong conclusion

my statement was in regard to kevin saying that I have never worked hard in my life so I couldnt possibly know what blue collar people go through and that other people in white collar positions dont go through the same grueling conditions...

although i can say that I have never been exposed to many conditions out there that workers are exposed to AND I dont want to be exposed to them
and I would never want to go through what Doctors go through in doing their residency.. not only physically but mentally...especially the humiliation and verbal abuse they go through (although law students would say they have already been through that, especially with the teachers that believe in the Socratic method...ever seen the Paper Chase...yes those kinds of things do happen)

DO I say there should be no unions???

no

but I do say some of them are unreasonable

and any union that says a worker should sit on his butt and do no work and earn 50 dollars an hour.. instead of helping out is unreasonable to me..and some union rules say that...
as I would say any person who does not work and sits on his butt while others slave away is unreasonable...union or not..

Therefore, we should feel badly for the non-union blue collar workers and
criticize the progress (gains) that unionized workers have enjoyed, through collective
bargaining, as unreasonable.

not exactly
but I do say that as kevin goes on about the horrible conditions that blue collar unionized workers live through
there are non unionized blue collar workers that go through the same thing and are paid ALOT less

and there are non unionized white collar workers who go through the same thing and are paid ALOT less

------
btw, the legal services organization that works for the autoworkers giving them free legal service requires that you drive to work with those kinds of cars out of respect to the autoworkers

I thought that was interesting

so no Mazdas for the lawyers but the autoworkers can drive to work in a Mazda
