Peaches I agree that the Union Leadership and the suits sometimes misguide and screw the little guy. They are still needed though and when run professionally they are key to workers surviving because the TOP MANAGEMENT (non union) fills it's pockets and not down the food chain. Union leaders NYPD, FDNY, Teamsters and until recently the MTA have all done a good job.

Thanks for the Google tip but I have first hand and second hand experience in Union land with MTA (who is striking now), Local 3, Steamfitters, NYPD, and Local 153, respectfully. I actually have a clue.
