    How is it that you cannot debate this topic without getting defensive about it?

    I'd be interested in hearing your side of the union story if you didn't bring bullshit union rhetoric into it.

    I've experienced unions and do not believe them to be good overall but that is also true of lots of things which are highly organized AND political. Government is a prime example.

    I can be on a Union site tomorrow. Do not need the bullshit though. I choose to use my own brain, and engineer my own income.

    I take his comments personally.

    He should be more specific about which unions he's talking about.
    We all paint/generalize people with one brush.

    You paint all jews with one brush
    I had a friend who believes all bodybuilders are nothing more than meatheads
    Lots of us view all Government employers as lazy dog ****ers who couldn't get a job anywhere else if they tried

    The list goes on and on and on.

    Generalizations suck but we have them. I'm sure you work hard at your job and that's great for you. I'll say those with a SKILLED trade are not equal to those on a assembly line or who are an office administrator in Government.

    Having a skilled trade actually involved some sort of brain power (usually) to acquire it. The other 2 I mentioned require **** all and barely even a high school education. When I speak ill of unions it these groups that bother me the most. They make WAY ABOVE what they would in the private sector and ONLY because they have a union behind them. The market cannot survive paying people wages that they are not qualified to earn.

    I make a boat load of money (NOT bragging so please don't label me) but I make this amount of money because I return 100+ times my salary to the organizations I work for. In other words, I earn my keep. I don't believe the majority in unions earn their keep.

    To say all unions suck and all their members are lazy or unproductive is kinda ignorant, isn't it? It's like saying all Irish are drunks or all Blacks eat watermelon. It's the same as saying all male bodybuilders are juicers with small dicks. It would be equally ignorant to paint all non-union workers in one broad stroke. Organized labour occupies their rightful and appropriate segment of the workplace as does independent labour.

    Anyone who has ever studied the history of organized labour even briefly, will understand the undeniable contributions labour unions have made to the workplace from which today even NON-UNION workers benefit. If you prefer to work independently from unions more power to you. Just remember whatever benefits or privileges you enjoy are there most likely because at one time or another....organized labour fought for them.

    It's okay to prefer working non-union. Hell, some industries are probably better suited for non-union labour. BUT... if the only way you can justify it is by disparaging unions..... maybe doth protest too much???
