RE: More Unions

[quills -at- airmail -dot- net]

At least in the USA, and I have no experience elsewhere, the Unions 
are as much a big business as any other. They are, and have been for 
several decades, labor brokers.

I know the purpose they originally served, I know the history, the 
cultural background, etc., they are now big business.

I am an entrepreneur.

The USA has a long tradition of entrepreneurial workers. It is one 
reason some foreign companies that purchase American companies have 
employee problems.  I left a company after 10 years there because the 
new Swedish owners couldn't understand why the American workers were 
paid so much more than their Swedish counter-parts.

One reason: we provide our own retirement, day-care for our children, 
medical, and other social funded living expenses, where the Swedish 
worker has it provided by the government.

The Swedish company pays an equivalent price per worker but in 
Sweden, most of that cost is paid to the government.

In the USA, we have to take care of it ourselves.

And a union is not about to step in and take care of me in a like 
manner. Regardless of what they say.

I don't want big brother, be they government or union. I don't want them.
