    Ask the textile workers in the south, that were making 8 or 9 dollars per hour, what happened? "they no LONGER have them"-----I don't believe they were union. Or ask the furniture factories. I wonder why so many non-union trucking companies have closed their doors, they were paying anywhere from 25cpm to 35 cpm and no benefits, I wonder why they are gone?????

    Funny unions get the blame for plant closings when there are many more non-union plants shutting their doors.

    Not blaming the UNIONS for nothing , my post was in response to the previous posting about how GREAT the union can be , just showing the other side of the coinn so to speak. At the CAT plant ( they made engines for rail locomotives ) the members would not take a wage cut , jobs moved to a non union plant in the mid west

    Making up random shizz out of thin air and then calling me stupid because of it, even though I didn't say (nor did I even come close to saying) anything of the sort? Dictating to me what I would and would not do with own career based on my opinion of unions? And IM dumb?!

    Assumption is the mother of all f*** ups.
