8. No they wont.
The Murkan Sheeple have been conditioned to believe that all union workers are over-paid, under-worked, fat, lazy crybaby slobs.
Just this AM I over heard a truck driver griping to another driver over how he couldn't get his day started as early as he liked because "The Union" made the guy who used to load him stop coming in 2 hours before the official start of work.

Never mind all that "Union Won" crap he enjoys, like a big enough paycheck to feel like a "real" ReTHUGlican, paid vacations, and paid medical leave when his dumping trailer broke and flipped his truck over.....No, all that he enjoys because his boss and the company he works for are "fair".

We're gonna need another John L. Lewis, another Walter Reuther, another Caesar Chavez, and people are gonna have to die before the sheep wake up and realized they've been fucked. And even that won't work, because the average minimum wage worker won't be willing to give up their cable that gobbles a big chunk of their pay and poisons their minds. "No thanks, I like my job, it pays my bills. Why, I've almost saved up enough to buy a '79 Tempo at Smilin' Jack's used cars, so I can quit riding the bus. I can't do anything that might lose me my job!"

Reagan started it with the Air Controllers, and it just keeps coming.
