I despise corrupt unions but unions are the last line of defense before a return to the days of 19th century industrial revolution period.

I do not form my opinion of unions based on what ANYONE else has to say. I was a union member, shop steward, area steward and a VP candidate with 20+ years of service. Have you even been wiping your own ass for 20 years?

Without organized labor, we would still have the working conditions of a 3rd world country. If we were to get rid of it, we would be back there in no time. The middle class exists because of unions. Everyone who is not unionized only has their benefits and wages because of unions.
The fact that anyone's brain is too weak to understand basic realities, yet they can still function in some capacity in our society, never ceases to amazes me. Get a fucking education instead of spouting off bullshit you heard some asshole ranting about on talk radio.

So, how much experience do you have working with unions? What union were you in? How long? What positions did you hold with them?
