I do not have a lot of experience dealing with unions, but I think (just my .02) that Fred's comments about sum it up. We as Americans can do better and we need to stand up to the industrial plate and 'Just do it'.

Yes, Americans do have a lot to thank the unions for, but I think they have taken it too far to the extreme. It seems the union members are the only ones getting the benefits any longer.

For example I haven't had employer paid health care for the last twenty years. I do not get breaks in the middle of the day for any reason. And if I sat down at work because the water fountain didn't work I'd be out on my ass in a heartbeat.

The unions (workers) need to get more in line with reality and the American people as a whole instead of everyone trying to be King.
