The original reason for unions were to protect the workers from abuse and exploitation. It was horrific the way employers treated workers in the old days. Then the people got together and improved working conditions drastically. A true American rights success story.

Yet soon, like any group, criminals took over and turned the unions into mafia-like control groups that had the power to alter elections. They became what they originally fought against.

That's why you have outsourcing now. It's become a liability to hire an American worker. The majority are ill, on drugs, alcohol and always looking for a way to sue for big cash thus raising insurance rates to an unprofitable level.

IBM, Disney, just to name a few got to the point where they just said 'fuck em' and dumped the employees. Fudiciary speaking, the stockholders were getting shorted.
