[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1396588, member: 19397"] I think unions definitely had a place in America, but I have seen them be destructive as well. I lived in Old Town, Maine (famous for Old Town Canoes). We had a paper mill that in 2000 was paying guys $17/hour starting out because the union was so strong. Three years later they wanted more money and went on strike. Owners told them they didn't need said mill and if they went on strike they'd shut it down. Well, the idiots went on strike and the company padlocked the gates shut in less than 24 hours. That was the end of that tiny town. Hurt a lot of folks and businesses and if the University wasn't there, there'd be no jobs. [/QUOTE]
