no, your generation, which is just turning 50 are die hard union members who have screwed every company in american and has furthered the spreed of socialism in america.
this in not a flame at you but it is the truth about your generation.
Codswallop. Unions were around long before my generation. BTW, I have never belonged to a union.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statitistics, just 17.0% of all workers aged 45 to 54 years belonged to a union in 2004. That was down from 17.6% in 2003.
I was forced to join a union once. The experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I resolved never again to work for a company that has a strong union.
You're broad brush is out again. I'm 49. I've been a salaried management employee since 1980. I was forced to join the IBEW from 1977 to 1980 so I could care for the electronics on 180 tuna boats that happened to be docked in a union shipyard. My company paid the monthly dues to keep the knuckleheads in the union happy. I was paid 4 times as much as any union hack. The only thing the IBEW ever did for me was vandalize my car to coerce the payment of a $60 initiation fee. That has earned my lifelong enmity for unions.
