It's not my responsibility to make sure someone let's you out frequently. Maybe you should try to get out by yourself? I'm sorry you're in that situation.

Why waste the bandwidth typing, isn't going to change anyone's mind. For the record I still say some unions have a place and are needed, problem is most aren't or are being abused.

Like everything else in this world there's good & bad but only the bad is what you'll hear about.

Thanks, this is a good reminder for me not to get into it with people that suffer from chromosome damage.

There is NO better system on earth than capitalism, the fact you can’t understand that makes me believe you’ve never left the good ol US of A and seen what the rest of the world has to offer.
Bootlicker spotted. Good to know a human life is tied to a dollar value instead of an intrinsic one. I'm glad our military members are still willing to volunteer their lives despite the pittance in pay so you can make that big bad bold statement.

You`re mostly correct, but unions have (or at least USED to have) excellent training programs and standards which command the higher wages. That`s what the companies who are union are supposed to be getting for their money. The fact that some workers are just "deadwood" is the fault of both the union and the company in not getting that resolved. But that`s a whole other topic.

That's a pretty big leap from what he said.
