As was I.

I had done time on both sides of the aisle as a union steward, and then later took a management job. I believe there is still a serious need for unions. Anyone can cite some of the extreme examples for union's abuse or excess. In return, I can easily point back at the difference a CEO makes in comparison to their average worker wages over the past 10/20/50 years.

There is plenty of abuse on both sides. However, I can only shudder the level of abuse that would have existed back in telco without the union involved.
