Unions can be a useful way to cut down on workforce abuses and conditions,but at a great cost to personal freedom and choice. Whish for a union if you want security and average wages and sometimes good benefits. Don't wish for a union if you don.t want to pay dues to a cause that protects the slackers,non producers,and union reps that take the money and spend it on their own special interestsand causes. Most unions today are promoting less, to the union cause and capitulating more to employer demand.
