my thoughts exactly. Please elaborate on why unions are a good thing. And I don't need a history lesson...I want to know about 2012. How is the union beneficial?

What happened to the middle class? Maybe,there is a direct correlation between the decline of unions over the past 35 years and the decline of the middle class’s share of national income. When most Americans belonged to a union, 1940's and 1950's, income inequality in the U.S. was at its lowest point in the history of the country. The collapse of the middle class is the number one economic problem of our (America, since you are so worried about Asia) country!

With that being said are there downsides and negatives to Unions? ABSOLUTELY! Isn't there two sides to everything.

What bothers me most is when it's politicized. Republicans blaming Unions is the same as black people blaming Republicans! I'm conservative and a Union employee. Do I agree with everything that the Republican party represents? NO! They are just as much of the problem as a Democrat.
