Are businesses now going to join us regular people in the efforts to take back our Country?

I know that once-upon-a-time unions were a God-send to the working, blue-collar class. However, like most all good things, over time they are distorted, become arrogant & greedy and end up hurting those for whom they were first created.

I used to think that Big Manufacturing and Big Labor were both pretty bad.

After thinking a while, I realized that without a union, management may lower wages to the point where people would be on the edge of going elsewhere. There would still be jobs.

But without a company to oppose, Big Labor is useless. The parent companies (AFL-CIO, IAM, SEIU, Teamsters) themselves parasitize the local chapters.

They're kind of like the Civil Rights movement. Originally essential, but when things improved they have to convince their members that things are now worse than ever just to keep their organization alive.
