There were times in our country's history when unions were completely necessary for workers to get their fair share. Most business owners before the 1940's used hard working men and could care less about them. Once the unions helped the workers and also helped raised the standard of living in the country by the 1950's, they found out they enjoyed their new found power. So this has led to unions going too far ... putting businesses out of business that. The car manufacturers are a great example. Most businesses that get hurt by union extortion didn't exist back in those early days of exploited workers. We've all heard those crazy union stories. It's the same way with blacks and civil rights today. Blacks want reparations and affirmative action. It seems to me that mostly whites elected a black president. Any time we seem to accomplish a good cause here in the United States, we over do it and create a bigger problem just for that reason ... we didn't realize we solved it because it got to be big business.
