Just for the record, I'm not in a union. I just think they're a good idea.
And I'm not a flag waving redneck or anything like that either.
For too long has the kind of talk in my post been spouted by rednecks who, well, I wouldn't compare myself to them. But I'm a firm believer that American workers need to be guaranteed jobs. We live in a wealthy society, but because of that there are incredible extremes of class. From the ridiculously wealthy to the desperately poor. They say the American dream is that any man can be whatever he wants. But that's not always true.
Unions allow this to some extent. A person can get a union job and in a few years begin making their maximum pay rate. Then they can work for his 30 years or so and then retire with a pension and live decently. So it's very reasonable to support a union.
