Anti Union - GUILTY, but not anti labor (meaning work/worker), I do believe in the right to work. I've a pretty much blue collar upbringing.
My grandfather was a union leader back in the pre-Depression, New England mill days.
My Dad was a union electrician, but used to proudly state he never missed a payday - even when the union couldn't find him a job.
WOW - ditto the good stuff I didn't get to post.
Unions used to be honorable, but have outlived their usefulness by more than 50 years.
Todays unions have played a major role in our increased cost of living, the sad situation of our healthcare, deterioration of service, and higher taxes due to the unionization of government workers. WOES- we all suffer here in Hawaii.
