at the risk of getting off topic i'll respond to this. i don't believe anyone stated they were anti-union in any post. myself and maybe 2 others posted some criticisms but no one ever stated they were anti-union. until recently i myself was a card holding member of the IAM local 737 of which i have spent about 8 years in. unions are a good thing and many times necessary due to the practices of unscrupulous, greedy employers. but i also think that SOME unions in SOME markets seem to almost hold corporations hostage with their demands. consumers are paying for this but so are union members as their jobs are being outsourced in order for companies to offer competitive pricing. yes, these executives have ridiculous salaries and something needs to be done but there's room for a little give and take on both sides IMHO.

like i said, i don't want to get off topic because this thread isn't about unions. if you wish, feel free to pm me and blow off some steam. maybe we can both learn a little."give:
