Nunco,
I think all states have some union protections but some are much greater than others. We have the right to work states where companies can fire people rather easily when some needs to be fired. We also have various laws with regards to forming unions. I'm very much opposed to any law that makes the way a worker votes on a union public. That sort of information is ripe for intimidation.

the union ensures the members are qualified so an employer doesn't have to look at 100 different certificates all claiming competency to some degree, and suss out which certs mean something and which came off the internet.
I think that if you asked the Big Three's CEOs whether they'd rather deal with the unions and all of the headaches that entails, or have to go through the trouble of assessing their employees' qualifications themselves, they'd opt for the latter without skipping a heartbeat.

I hate the UAW.
I wish there was a way that automakers could get rid of them entirely. Then, they could focus on making good products and hiring qualified people and paying them fair wages based on their skillset and market demands. Seriously... 20-50/hr plus benefits to tighten a few bolts every day? What a joke.

Just wait until the current administration tries to pass laws that will make it easier for any shop to go union.....

Hey, Obama empowered the Unions with the settlements of GM and Chrysler so of course they're going after Ford while they have the clout.
Unions aren't the only ones that require people to be trained, but they are the only ones that teach/preach & demand LAZY!

Plenty of people argue that the management of the financial industry caused so much pain and ruin, maybe we should get rid of all white collar jobs, or perhaps the benefits that go with them? Or perhaps make "the government" dictate how much people can get paid?
