Unions were started back in the coal mines of West Virginia to the factories lines of Michigan. They were formed because of the terrible practices of the company they don't care about you when it comes to the dollar.


I believe this to be true. I find it similiar to the government assistance programs that were created at about the same time, to help people get back on their feet at other jobs and/or locations.

I also believe that the same transition has happened to both unions and government assistance programs; a transition that makes these entities unrecognizeable when compared to what they were when they were first initiated and the reasons why they were intended. Greed, laziness and the thought pattern that one is "owed" a living has permeated every fiber of these entitlement abusers. Folks have figured out how to play and beat the system, so they are rewarded for doing absolutely nothing.
