So, I'm curious about what the future holds for all these different industries.

The unions are clearly killing the auto industry in America forcing them to go bankrupt. I actually think that's a good thing although some bright friends of mine say that would be horrible for our economy. The auto industry is one of the underpinning of what we are.

I remember the Writers Guild strike back in 1973 just as I was getting started on Kung Fu, which put me out of the Hollywood business and into the world of electronics for a time. Now they are threatening the entire industry again at the worst possible time.

What if the coal mines resist the unions - what then?

What would happen if these unions were forced out of business?

My only real experience with unions was a case where I represented management and, incredibly, we were aligned with the union against the nutso employee who was suing....lol.

I do a lot of employment law, but believe me, labor law is a creature all unto itself....
