i suppose if unions go away, that's the way it needs to be right now...but just remember everything happens in cycles. at some point, corporations will start taking advantage of workers again...unions will come back...it's just a matter of when.
Sort of similar view on unions as mine. There was/is a valid reason that they exist and we are now in the process of regressing to the point where they will be needed again. I never knew who was going to screw me first, the company or the union. Having said that I would still rather have one when dealing with a large company than not. Some protection from abuse is better than none.
