I have never liked unions as much of what I hear about unions go against the concept of capitalism. I don't get the processes by which unions work and how it actually benefits the companies.
Teacher unions have produced many lousy teachers and are not setup to produce better teachers.
Labor unions often lock out those who are not a part of the union from simply doing the work they are trained for and want to do regardless of the union.
It's like a mafia forcing others to do their bidding and bullies of that nature deserve to be torn down, and torn apart and ridiculed for the stupidity they perpetuate.
I've had several friends who have worked for unions and they continually swear up and down that the union was nothing more than a scam for money and in their youth they were happy to be a part of that scam, but it definitely allowed them to be pretty darn lazy.
Frankly, if the market can only afford $8.00 an hour, then people only deserve $8.00 an hour. If the market does well and can afford more, and the people working there DESERVE more, than they should get that pay, but good/bad ownership should dictate that, not some go between bully enforcer.
