Bull Hocky Holly, Unions are outdated. If we didn't have a huge, expansive, unconstitutional federal government, I might tend to agree with you, but federal Departments and Agencies like DOT, OSHA, Wage & Hour, EPA, HUD, etc., have replaced everything that a Union once did. Now, they are nothing less than a racketeer influenced organization, shaking down the working man in order to maintain their existence.
