>> The unions fought for almost a hundred years before Ford got on board with the 8 hour work day.

Right, and they made relatively little progress. In fact, it was Ford's decision that led the way for FLSA later on.

Unions do one thing really, really well: they lock deserving people out of the competition for jobs.

They manage sweet jobs for the powerful few at the expense of the many.

If that's your idea of a good thing, then that would be consistent with the rest of your silly ideas.
