To be fair, trade unions have brought some benefits to the working person... like fucked up union dues, higher inflation, crippled domestic industries because of inelastic wage structures, soaring health care premiums

But really... its time to do away with this monstrosity of the 1800s and let every individual employee bargain their way to higher wages. If you're worth it, you'll get it. If not, you are just a parasite and should either go back to school or somehow increase your marketable skills.

Let the free market decide.

I'm assuming most of you own your own businesses so you would agree with many of these points. If not, then you may be a weak sheep that believes in shaking down management for benefits you don't deserve.
in the words of my mentor, Saul Alinsky..... "the people that do the work, control the job"
