Unions may have protected employees from abuse many years ago - but there are now laws that provide the same protection. Plus - we can change jobs whenever we want.

Unfortunately, there are no laws protecting workers from abusive unions.

This is sooooo true: (rom another post)

Any process to join a union should have a similarly easy process to remove a union. Otherwise, there is no Equal Protection as guarenteed by the Constitution. Like any contract, coersion to join should not be legally binding. There is no difference between forced unionization and theft because it forces people ot pay union dues or "protection money". The Union forcing such action should be charged under RICO. Its time the US Attorney's Office investigated and charged the unions for corruption.

I have known union workers to brag about destroying private property - setting buildings on fire, etc. Amazingly, these same people consider themselves Christians (I guess they weren't wearing their WWJD hats those days. Talk about serving 2 masters!) They've also intimidated smaller private companies in the area that they consider 'illegal' competition. And they are pathetically corrupt - even ripping off their own members.

Unions philosophy contridicts our Constitution - the right to private property, personal safety, the persuit of happiness as we decide for ourselves...

If we can elect a president & vote him out of office - it should be a lot easier to vote to disband a union if workers are not satisfied. Otherwise - the cure (unions) is much worse than the so-called 'disease' (corporations).
