What elites?Working people need to support each other or we are just fodder for the elites.The great majority of working people, probably including most of you that have no respect for unions, would be living utterly wretched lives if it weren't for unions that kept business owners and the wealthy from using us as economic slaves.
I respect unions; I think they went too far and priced us out of the global market, among other things, but the average American's standard of living is due to their pressure on employers for better wages and benefits. I would never be a strike breaker.
I never have and pray that I never will.
Working people should support other workers when they go on strike.
Ive given this some thought. I think they are different things. Strikes are one thing. When people are forced to withhold their labour then they should be supported. If you dont like Life of Brian then thanks for your point of view.what kind of a picket line, one in front of a movie the pickets want banned. or a union or non union group of workers wanting better working conditions or more pay??

My father belonged to a union and hated it. They went on strike, which he supported and in the end he lost money he will never be able to get back, he lost all respect for the union. I worked for a union for two years, they never went to bat for anyone, when I left, I decided I didn't want to work for a union again. I have a father-in-law that worked for a union and he liked it and swears by them, even though there were those that he felt deserved to be fired however the union protected them.
So, my experience is not a good one, yours view may differ. They may have been good in the past however as all things go, they got to greedy.
Who are the "elites"? My boss owns the company, he treats us all fair and pays us a fair wage. When I want a day off he will pay it whether I ask or not. When I got sick for an extended time he paid me my full salary. No union or fellow worker would ever do that. I will look out for the company owners best interests because he has proven that he will look out for my best interests. Unions never gave me the feeling they would look out for me and other than taking away money from me, they never communicated with me.
I guess nobody trusts unions and the vast majority of employers are not good to work for.....you all can agree with both of these...
