I say all good things much come to an end.
you are right, unions have had their day. they are the main problem with job outsourcing. i know they are only trying to protect their members but at what cost; a pay cut or lower benifits are way better than unemployment. you cannot say that using an air ratchet on an assembly line is skilled labour or that it requires $30/hr.
