Best place for the unions today is in the bin lol! on a serious note though i can understand the original concept of unions and the right to mass representation but.....the latest shenanigans from unions and there bellecose representitives are damaging this countrys chances of recovery so i would urge you to think about this carefully before joining one and dont forget, most union members are nothing but pawns these days in the union barons quest for power.....

i could point you in the direction of some other threads on here,there you will see passion,compassion and people who care what happens to others just like them.

My post wasn`t a dig at those who choose to join a union....far from it. But for a while now i have watched this great nation of ours being tugged back n forth with much eagerness. Union membership can be a way of achieving fairness in the workplace but can also cause friction between workers and management who are "looking over their shoulders" and consequently can be seen as a double edged sword so to speak. Workers should not feel threatened or intimidated by management etc....but managers/directors etc must also be allowed to manage/delegate.......

thats true,but your missing the point on the latest goings on..
