of course. Glen Beck points this out at-least once a week. Its cheap labor and more money for them. Unions are about money now at least the big ones. They want to open the borders so they can bring in more migrant workers. Think its to change our way of life, i mean seriouse promise them this and that and you have a USA thats not USA any more.

Keep up the good work. If are country goes under I guess we can blame you and the south ? Unions only make up a small percentage of the work force in the U.S.A. The non union part of the country better get off their * an start working eight hours a day for eight hours of pay. I'm sure you have nothing against high payed C.E.O's that don't do much, but get payed for who they know, and not what they do.
You had better get a new dead horse to whip. Unions only make up 16 percent of the work force in the U.S.A. [:)]

The problem is the Union bosses just like the CEO's.
I can't believe the both of you have a problem with someone making as much of him/herself as possible here, in the land of opportunity.
You say CEOs don't "deserve" really bg paychecks and perks, and such stuff?
How do you think the Board of Directors chose each individual CEO? By looking on {elsewhere}?! Throwing darts at a NYC phone book?!
NO! there actually are certain folks out there that are worth every competitively-priced dollar they earn in their chosen fields of endeavor. Some rare ones even make the company some money in the process of enriching themselves, which drives up profits on the stocks, which makes the shareholders happier, and the company can pay more in Corporate taxes to fund idiotic Gov't programs like welfare.
So much for CEOs; howzabout those sterling examples of humanity-Union Bosses?
You know, the ones that promise to make the Pension Fund sound and actuarially feasible? the ones that run on a platform of Unity; all the while keeping strife between locals at an all-time high. The ones that pile up huge "political War Chests" to fight for re-election, and then lose and slip into a consult position for the Mgmt. for twice his former pay. Yes, even the ones that squander the political clout of the entire workforce by donating hard-earned dues to Socialists, despots and Dimocrats.
Now you know the difference.
And I wouldn't put it past the Dims to try and get some sort of Civil Action started just so's they can crack down on US.
The Unions are selling out their membership to lower wage illegals, most union halls are full of members sitting on the bench with no work. Screw the Unions that are supporting illegals and start with SEIU

Open borders and an endless supply of cheap labor could bring up the 16% to maybe a whopping 20% and hey...that's a lot of good jobs and early well paid retirements on the backs of the poor, but that'e the way the world turns, and I'm all for a person getting what they can get in the society that's been passed down to us.

I am part of management in a company that deals with the SEIU. I don't find them to be too much of a pain to deal with, as individuals some of their reps are fine to deal with but to be honest I don't think they do a heck of alot to justify payment of dues.
The refrain I hear most often is "they (union) do nothing for me ..."
What I find quite disingenuous about the unions is that in order to work for a company that is union organized one must alomost universally join the union and one must pay dues. If the unions were as they like to portray "brother workers" banding together you'd think joining would't be compulsory.
As an aside, while union membership in private companies is down to about 16%, it's up in the public service sector. Public unions in CA are quite a force to be dealt with, I don't assert they are the only problem in CA by any means but they certainly are part of it.
My point is that the c.e.o's are no different then most crooks. The feds bailed them out one to many times. There has to be something wrong, when a company is going broke and the c.e.o 's are getting 28% plus raise. When a group of c.e.o.'s don't have enough common sense to plane pool to D.C. to beg for more money for thier company from congress. Well I don't think that proves that using a dartboard isn't just as good a method for hiring them.[:D]
