toad... even a cursory look at management in the 18, and 19th century will show that management was not only greedy but... they were unlawful.
obviously.. they were the "root" of all labor/management problems... that does not mean the the unions are now free to cause their own problems.
shooting workers using federal troops is not really a "management" thing so much as it is an unconstitutional thing. When this happened the government was just as much to blame as management.
To say that a loss of union power would return us to a century or more ago is not really very relevant. To say that the unions have to exist or workers will be slaughtered by union troops is not really relevant either.
Just as the "root" cause for unions was bad... no... evil.. management and government willing to go along for growth... the "root" cause of todays problems in the auto industry and the teaching industry is...
the unions.
The fact that neither side will budge from their grasping greed means that we will see industries fail and education standards continue to drop.
I will continue to buy older cars, invest in property and send my grand daughter to catholic school.. the rest of you are on your own.
