IKE said " There is no denying the wonderful things that Unions have done for working people". Wasn't gonna post but it fits with this discussion.
At one time they probably did. Then they went to shi* and it got to the point they made themselves somewhat obsolete and made their workers non competitive. Modern unions are nothing more than big business themselves.
Throw in immigration, by the way what the Democrats want for more voters, and the unions are pretty much a tiny spec of the work force.
Go watch a bridge being built in WV. White workers, probably in a union. Or even go look at a house being built in WV. Now go down South or other parts of the country. It is not the white man nor really the black man doing that work.
