Quote:Agreed to agree with your disagreement.

For one, Unions are in such decline, that to blame them for the economic woes is naive and excuse to " pass the buck" Studies have shown that business failures are 69% mis management. Unions thrive in other countries like Germany, who build better products, have better productivity and workers are treated well.

Funny how zillion dollar compensation CEO packages are somewhat overlooked, but someone with a decent wage and pension gets lambasted.

Excellent points. During my studies I read quite a few articles on the downfall of Detroit. The lie that I've heard was that unions were at fault for the auto industry decline. But academic studies show management had a much more significant impact. Unions weren't the ones creating the dreck designs. Management decided the product, the workers just put the junk together, they had no say in the engineering and other facets to the production.
