Don't ever argue with the Big Dog because the Big Dog is always right" Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:25:29 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Scott http://www.onebigdog.net/no-fiesta-for-uaw/comment-page-1/#comment-120093 Scott Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:25:52 +0000 http://www.onebigdog.net/?p=3502#comment-120093 Unions as they now exist have outlived their usefulness and are now a blight and burden upon both the workers and companies. They pretty much exist only to enrich the union officials while the rank and file member gets stiffed, at least that has been my experience with the two union job I've worked in my life time. Unions could be a good and positive thing, however the thing that spoils them is greed. Greed on both sides of the fence, from the union and the company. Most companies grossly overpay their executives and upper levels of management and often they aren't any good for the company. I think it was Merrill Lynch that laid off 4000 employees a little while back due to the sub-prime loan fiasco. Now those employees who are losing their jobs weren't the ones who made/adopted the policies that caused the company to take a loss it was the upper management & executives. Yet the executives didn't take a pay cut, lose perks or benefits, it was the 4000 working stiffs with families, a house payment, and a car payment who bore the brunt of their bad decision making that was based upon sheer greed. That to me is wrong. Unions as they now exist have outlived their usefulness and are now a blight and burden upon both the workers and companies.
