No, Bellstar, you are not the only one who cares.

I know that Labor Unions outlived their usefulness in America before WWI, and have been hanging on ever since then only because the Federal governement has legislated their contined existence and overlooked their criminal activity.

I have never belonged to a Labor Union and never will -- I believe that the laws which require workers to pay union dues against their will are unconstitutional, and should have been overturned years ago.

There is more, but you get my drift. If I were "King for a Day," Right to Work would become the law of the land, and the criminals in the Labor Unions would go to prison.

It is all about pension money
Remember UPS strike?
That was a dispute of pension money control
Look at who controls the pension funds.

As always follow the $$ and you will find the answer.

I also don't think nonunion workers should be forced to pay union dues, but let me play devil's advocate for a second.

Conservatives usually say that minimum wage laws should be repealed because the government has no right to tell businesses what to pay their employees. If the worker doesn't like what he's getting paid, they argue, he should just get another job. So don't you think that if a worker doesn't want to pay union dues, he should just look for another job?
