Bonefish, Notice that since Mr. Obama was re-elected, the unions have become more brazen? That thought did cross my mind while I was sitting in traffic. The thing that the mainstream media doesn't talk about these days is the concept of collective bargaining. People usually associate it with the basic 1st amendment freedom to assemble, but the reality these days is that "collective bargaining" is a government-sponsored monopoly on labor by the unions.

Twinkies bakers say they'd rather lose jobs than take pay cuts news.yahoo.com Here's an example of a typical union member: "I really can't afford to not be working, but this is not worth it. I'd rather go work somewhere else or draw unemployment," said Johnson, a worker at Hostess for 23 years. Well duh, if he isn't working, then he's drawing unemployment, at least for two years. So he CAN afford not to be working. And of course, he can thank Obama and Pelosi for that, especially Pelosi who thinks unemployment checks are "stimulus." Tenchusatsu
