The only large union that I would support given todays economy is the one in your sig, the ACLU. Then again, they are more philosophically motivated than financially motivated.
Would you agree on that?

Hmm... I know a girl right now that started a new job a few months back. No union but one is needed.
No vacation for a year, 1 week vacation that never increases, no health benefits for a year and after that she has to pay 75%, no paid sick days for 3 months after that only 1 paid sick day a month if she has a note. And a mixture of other BS..
Many, 1000's of companies still work with the lowest cut rates that they can get away with. Reports of people getting paid and working from 2 companies an owner has so they work 15hours from each company, no beneifits, overtime, etc..
Unions are still needed
