Are you serious about unions killing jobs and hurting Americans? Where do you get your information? Have you looked at history? The American standard of living ROSE when union membership was at it's highest. As jobs and living standard declined, so did union membership. I resent ANYONE calling anyone else lazy and greedy! I am a nurse, I have been a nurse for a very long time, both union and non union. There was NO DIFFERENCE in the work ethic or attitude in either group. There was a difference in the working conditions. They were better in a union shop. I have also been a government employee and found most people to be hard working and honest. Don't you think it is about time we stop fighting amongst ourselves and start standing up for each other! Do you really think you are more qualified/ambitious/hardworking/worthy because you are not part of a union!!? As far as unions being needed, are you aware there is no federal regulation requiring a company to give workers a lunch break? A 10 minute break per 4 hours, yes, but no lunch. Are you aware that there is a movement afoot to get rid of minimum wage? Are you aware that many businesses require you to use your PTO time for holidays? Even if the business is CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAY?! And don't even get started on the school system. Do you or anyone you know teach? If you think they have it so good, do it then. I hope that you will reconsider your position and look up your facts. People do not live beyond their means because of unions. They do not become lazy because of unions. The dues they pay would not allow a lot of savings to be made. Look at the real facts.
