I agree that at one point unions served a major purpose. They created equality in the work place (so to speak). But, on the other hand, I agree that they are over-rated now. Some of them are just using the unions to take advantage. Regardless of how we look at it, it has caused issues in the U.S. There are too many people that do not take pride in there work these days, and just expect a paycheck. That sucks! I think that everyone should be paid based on experience, performance, and attendance. Things that really matter. I do agree that there needs to be some type of guidelines set for employers as well. But, all that being said, I can somewhat see both sides of this issue. P.S. I hate the fact that the casinos were approved! Here comes the "B.S" to our state!!
