Contrary to all economic evidence? Unions don't represent me. What "evidence" is there besides that? As a fiscal conservative republican/libertarian - unions do not represent anything about me. At all. People being "not financially secure" doesn't mean that a Union represents their needs. Those are two separate - if related - issues. "folks forget now" you seem to be ignoring one of my main points: Many Unions out live their usefulness. There are points where Unions are great - and some of those points do exist today. I think Unions are important with regards to government agencies, for example - because the "employer" is massively disconnected from the lower level employees and in many aspects not accountable. But the vast majority of Unions get created... maybe full-fill a purpose... then continues to exist as a detriment. A bureaucracy that exists unto itself and stops representing the worker and instead becomes another detached entity that's, for all intents and purposes, a net negative and a drain on a company. IE: The auto industry. You show me a union that factors in their base and covers the entire spectrum - and not 100% one party or political ideology... and we can begin talking about how a Union could or would represent all it's members...
