The problem is not the unions, but the so called political system we have where everything is controlled by money.
Get rid of capitalism, go to a socialist economic system, reform our election system, and we won't have this problem.
Sorry, I'd rather have the people who actually do WORK have an influence on what happens in this country than entitled privileged fat-cats sitting in board rooms trying to figure out how they can screw over everyone else and make themselves even more obscenely rich.

Serious question, how is this good for society in any way? FDR was strongly opposed to public sector unions because of this dynamic.
The biggest is that private employees cannot vote out management for exploiting them. Unions give them collective bargaining power without which they would be prostrate to management; public employees have that power in the ballot box. One could even argue public employee unions are antithetical to socialism, because their often adversarial relationship is not with private capitalists, but, ultimately, with the entire public.

I think it was more because HE was the boss, and was as hostile to his employees as anyone *NM*

Both are collectives of people, who possess 1st amendment rights. The government has no such rights

I was a teacher. I didn't belong to the union. But I will still support if they rally.

This argument makes as much sense as arguing Enron proves capatilism is bad for society
