He also saw guys that had been laid off sitting in the breakroom drinking coffee and reading the paper. Why were they there? Union rules. Were they getting paid? You betcha.

Unions had their place years ago when guys were walking steel 50 stories high with no safety requirements. Now the unions are out for themsleves. Money is the key to their success and will also be their downfall.
