Union Suicide! - NY Style....

Is it just me, or are the unions of the USA on a suicide course?

I have long been an opponent of the unions.....feeling they have long ago passed their credibility and useability factor......They are meaningless in today's society. Their general theme is one of "Gimme".....just because!

I am a former union person (Caterpillar Tractor), and find even then....1970s... they were useless.

Today the union drivers of subway and buses in NY struck.....to "gain support" of the populace.......OOPS!!!!! Their own site, by my estimation of the hundreds of replies to their own web site comments section (before it became so negative, they shut it down) was reallly reallly negative.....They are being lambasted by almost everyone! They were, by my actual count of replies, running in a level of ten negative to 1 positive responses when they decided to lose the opportunity to comment.

The union thugs, as the Mayor labels them, are woefully prepared for the actual truth of where they are pay wise, and what the rest of the population (30,000 union members, versus 11 million citizens) are really thinking.....

Average union pay...$62,000......starting Police salary $25,000.....which job has more responsibility and danger associated? You provide that answer!

Unions are dead.....long-live-the-unions.....

Already in place; a $1,000,000 per day fine for the unions....

Get a grip union guys....get a reality check, and see what the rest of the world thinks of your "terrible jobs".....
