The thing that made unions a nessecity is still there.

Fix them first and then there will be no need for the unions.
It might be there in the States, but in the UK it is here but nowhere near as powerful. Margret Thatcher pulled them to their knees and pressed ahead with new legislation, it has not been changed by the Labour party, and it is the Unions that is still the banker for them....so that says a lot for the Unions.

The last three strikes that have been in the UK have been passed on block voting that is outlawed and 6%, so that means the 44% that voted against it were shit on. Give me a break denuseri, when I was a driver on the haulage I had to become a member of a Union just to get on the Docs in the UK, and you call that democratic...its membership by stealth. The Unions are still being paid large sums of money by the people that are striking that are getting damn all for weeks on end, and the irony is that while they are on strike they still have to pay their dues.

All the time that the USA has presidents are always looking for self preservation and senators with no balls. Added to the sleaze factor that every country has, and your Unions are not a lot better than racketeers. Thank God the UK got it all sorted out and the Unions brought down to a manageable size. They still have a hell of a lot of power but they have to be within the law and abide by Government guidelines.
