I fail to see what working for a Fortune 100 company that posted record profits has absolutely anything to do with unions? Seems more like bragging to me. I don’t think you get the reasons I stated about why I dislike unions. To me, unions are a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist like it did several decades ago. A majority of the people in here with union experience think no differently than I do about this, with some of the same reasoning used. Just because you’re in a union and pay so much in taxes, doesn’t have any effect on my opinions and theirs.
