Reply #24: So what have the unions done about this for the last 30+ years?

Each of the points remains valid and your response addresses none of them. How do the unions expect to survive when they have nothing to point to as a benefit that the average dumb-ass can understand?

It seems to me that, once again, it comes back to class. The unions are run by the same type of executive that runs the company. Hoffa is a great example. How can you effectively represent truck drivers when you've never driven a truck for a living, or represent tech workers when you have no clue what it is they actually do? The potential members see this crap and think "why should I support that asshole's lifestyle with my hard earned dollars, none of which they put in my pocket?"

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea and the former practice of, unionism. It's just that the guys (BTW where are the women union bosses?) that run them do so primarily for their own benefit.
