Z, > I would say in general, if a union is doing its job and keeping conditions fair, that's probably right. There's a long-running joke among us engineers where we aren't allowed to move our own monitors (back when they were big and heavy) because a union employee is supposed to do that. Of course, it took forever to get such an employee to do that in a timely manner. It should be obvious why union employees are generally not more productive than non-union ones. Why work hard when you can just rely on your thug union bosses to stand up for you? Look how hard it is for school districts to fire underperforming teachers ... and the good ones voluntarily leave because there's no room to recognize and reward their work. Tenchusatsu
