Yeah but Unions don't help either. Look at GM, a Union company if there ever was one. Thanks to decades of Union power, when you buy a GM car today there's a certain cost to that car that accounts just for the healthcare given to an employee when the numbers are crunched. I can understand why companies like Wal-Mart are anti-Union. They don't want to see themselves end up withering away on the vine like GM has been. Unions kill companies, and really there's no need for Unions nowadays because there's so much government regulation from workplace safety to benefits and pay that Unions in their current form in North America simply exist to give more power to those at the top. I for one am ready for the day when those like Buzz Hargrove get off their high horse and quit using their Unions to run good companies into the ground thanks to the Union's unrealistic demands.
