What happens to union workers can happen to others, also...

While everyone complains about unions, they also impact on non-union jobs. Through history, the current worker protection laws, the benefits, the pay that we enjoy now were brought about by workers who ultimately gained the support of those in government who could make laws to let this happen. It was not through the sudden enlightenment of the robber barons of the past that people have decent conditions. People ask, why should the unions get something I haven't? Well, flip it...why aren't more people asking, why should I be forced to give up decent pay, health benefits? I have worked in both public and private sector. In private sector, we had union workers in some positions. This also benefited the non-union people, as it was hard for the company to justify giving the factory workers better benefits than those in the office. Destroy unions, and you destroy the groups that do have enough strength to stand up for keeping benefits and pensions...and when they don't have them, there is even less chance of anyone else getting them either.
