This nation was mostly built before the unions. The unions then helped it along. Unions are great if needed and employees treated like crap. But they need to reign in themselves also when in total control. When the nation collapses, the unions involved that slow the growth will still be around making the downturn worse except for those still employed by them.Unions built this nation. There is a healthy percentage of americans who hate workers. Yet they want people to work hard. Hypocrites.
