Meredith considers going union

Ever notice that many of the companies having problems are union?
Auto industry, DHL etc.
Having a wife in Human Resources I here it all and unions are not a good thing for any company that wants to stay profitable.
Union workers make higher wages than the average person would which in turn is what is driving up prices and forcing companies to send their labor to other countries.
In the union your job security is based on seniority not job performance.
What ever happened to an honest days pay for an honest days work.
I believe the news said that auto workers were making 75K including benefits.
I’m sorry but that’s just not right and that is why we pay such high prices for the substandard product that the auto industry makes. I’ve owned both and would gladly buy imports over US because the quality just is not there. I had a Toyota that had no problems at all. I now own a Ford and if it was not for the fact I need a superduty truck to plow and sand I would own another Toyota.
I love this country but I have always been against unions and believe if they all went away this country would be a better place for all.
