[QUOTE="jamesrwright3, post: 56965536"] You are confusing correlation with causation. Yes, unions initially served a purpose. They improved working conditions and got higher wages and improved working conditions for their workers. However, they have gotten overly greedy, especially public sector unions and are now net wealth destroyers. The legacy pension/healthcare costs have turned the auto companies into healthcare companies that produce autos, and most public pension systems are a disaster. If unions can get higher wages, that is fine. Workers can be cut. However, you can't weigh down the system with exorbitant benefits to employees that are no longer producing anything. [/QUOTE]
