Seems to me that Unions have gone a bit far, not only that now that we have the DOL are they as neccessary as they used to be? They've become too powerful and can ruin a business.
I think recently I saw that Boeing was in real danger of bankruptcy and they lost an Air Force contract to Airbus. A lot of Americans cried foul because we lost to an overseas company and Americans were in danger of losing jobs. Congress I guess rethought the contract and gave it to Boeing, then a couple weeks later I hear that the Boeing workers are or may be going on strike. That is ridiculous, they came close to losing their jobs and now they strike? Seems stupid to me. I don't know the details of why they were striking, but it would seem trivial in light of losing your job coupled with the current economic conditions.
