My father was a union man, back when you could be beaten or worse for being pro union. By the time he retired, he hated them.

I was forced into union membership in my first job and it was not a good experience.

The good that unions COULD DO do and DID is done. NOW, unions are hide out for bad workers and an impediment to labor and prosperity.

What is worse, unions have consistently aligned themselves with the enemies of the United States and they have influenced (continue to influence) national politics in a way and to an extent that is out of all proportion to their actual numbers.

Similar story with my late father.

Bingo! I watched as the unions destroyed Pittsburgh in the late 60’s and 70’s. I think that’s when I became a Republican
