Hopefully this is only the first step towards destroying all unions. Once, long ago, unions might have a had a legitimate purpose, but no longer. Good Riddance!
There was never a legitimate purpose.
The predator-prey relationship is important in maintaining balance in the system.
Also the Chinese are going to be pissed, when no one is left to buy their crap.
Hopefully this is only the first step towards destroying all unions.

Let us hope so. They have become simply vehicles of corporate extortion, run by thugs for thugs. And as long as corporate America panders to them the more we will suffer -- just look at GM just for openers...
I don't think unions are entirely bad, but I hope this brings the country a lot closer to a time when the Democrat party and its powerful Left-wing coalition will become extinct. If there's a political party that the country certainly doesn't need right now (besides Communists, Social Democrats, and Nazis), it's the Democrats.
Well, I am not ready to say all unions are bad. I think what you have here is the pendulum effect. Before unions (many years ago) employers were notorious for abusing workers and taking advantage of them to the nth degree. But, as unions became ever more powerful, it is in fact many of them that are now sticking it to employers as bad or worse as the employers ever did before unions existed. It may be to the point where they are destroying the goose that laid the golden egg.
I don't think it destroys unions. I go with
"Others said competition might be good for the labor movement."
AFL-CIO was following a failed strategy of becoming an arm of the Democrats and putting political agendas ahead of interests of workers.
The unions that split off will be more successful, while AFLCIO continues its decline.
This is good for Republicans politically, because the Democrats leg-workers will be less focussed on the Dems.
JMHO, I'm speculating.

Unions are only as good as the leaders running them.
