Outdated social construct perverted from a once noble mission into socioeconomic virus destined to usher in the next great depression.
In the 1920's, unions protected people from slave wages and conditions. Over time, they won the war and the American middle class boomed. Today, having fulfilled their mission, rather than fading away, they continue to fight in a kind of sad, desperate grasp at hanging on to their own existence. They are not unlike the ACLU. Having gained the major victories and won all the good fights, they seek out the most petty, trivial, and even downright morally reprehensible battles in effort to justify their continued existence.
How come Japanese cars perform better, get better mileage, and are safer?
Well, maybe it's because the Japanese don't have cut $2000 of features out of every car to fulfill rich union retiree obligations. Or perhaps it's because they have more money to hire the best engineers because they don't pay uneducated, unskilled workers $25-35/hr to do manual labor.
Wait. Wait. I got. Perhaps it's because they're workers haven't been poisoned by American unions and feel like a craftsman trading equally with their company rather than leeches trying only to suck out as much as possible while exerting the minimal amount of effort... hmmm?
Labor unions suck...all they do is hurt themselves (not getting payed and freezing their asses off striking after collective bargaining fails)...they also hurt the consumer by giving them one less option in purchasing decisions...and hurt the firm by making them looose all their money and eventuallty they run out and cant pay the fucking union people ALL LABOR UNIONS DO IS CAUSE INFLATION IN THE US ECONOMY AND SIT ON THE ASS EATING A FUCKING SANDWITCH TELLING PEOPLE TO WORK SLOWER BECAUSE THEIR FUCKING FAGS WHO NEED TO BE ARRESTED...FUCK THAT BITH

Lazy American workers who, through their association with the mafia and south american drug cartels, claim they have "the right not to work."
Mike: "Hey Jeff I jost got word GM is laying me off!"
Jeff: "Have fun sitting around in the breakroom for 9 months on company time. Remember, the Teamsters Union afforded you the right to be a lazy ass."
Mike: "Oh great Jeff! By the way, hows that Indian call center job going?"
Rambabu: Steve, why are you the only American programmer working at Visa in Foster City?
Steve: Because unions aren't allowed here and business lobbyists got their way in Congress.
Rambabu: Why does a programmer need to make $40 an hour out here, while programmers in India do well on $3 an hour?
Steve: Unions allow workers to get paid more for doing less, which raises taxes and construction costs, while destroying education.
