There may have been a time in American history when unions were revelant, but that time has long passed.  We as American workers are appreciative of the eight hour work day, and overtime pay, but the unions have out-lived their usefulness.  Unions, the BIG BLOOD-SUCKER of any innovation and the "enemy of freedom," especially with this misnomer of a fair voting rights act, that is anything but!  If we as American workers can't vote in private to accept or reject union representation without intimidation of the ugly union thugs, then we have lost all rights of a secret ballot, and just what that means.  The unions are so afraid of a workers' right to privacy, they are using any and all intimidation and misleading propaganda to further their corrupt point.  When the radical leftist scream and bemoan "special interest" they fail and adroitly dismiss their own "special interest," the unions.  I used to "buy into the Union fantasy" when I was Young and foolish, working in the union I, however could see the many USELESS dolts that they were protecting.  The Myopic morons that couldn't get a job  in the "Real" world if their lives' depended on it!!!  Unions protect the slacker, idiots and useless why should I work hard and to the best of my ability when the dolt next to me barely shows-up at WORK and when they do, don't know the meaning of the word!!!  Unions only exist to perpetuate themselves and suck monies out of "the (said) sacred," "workers" the most perfect example of corrupt unions with nothing but self-serving interests is the teachers' union.  They glibly out-corrupt the teamsters' union.  Which of anyone who is reading this who has been involved or a member of a union can surely attest to.  When they lavishly spend millions upon millions of extorted dollars from their members that have no choice but to either join these corrupt unions or not have a job at all.  The stranglehold that these Violently Viscous unions have upon the Tarnished state of California is completely unconscionable. Until we as voters Raise "our pitch forks in anger," and march upon Sacramento figuratively, as well as literally to make our voices heard, we are at the beck and call of the Teachers' Union that holds this state in bondage while screaming their "supposed care, for the children," which by previous behavior, action and performance are the LAST things in their motivation.
