For some reason i imagine you typing this with your dick...?
Is that what you do?
Do you stand behind a desk in some office with your pants open typing with your dick while not having sex with your pregnant wife and jumping back and fourth from EF and creampie gang bang porn?

There was a time & a place for unions, but that time is long gone. Unions now do nothing but screw hard-working people, and they are good at it. When Cesar Chavez helped to unionize farm labor and set standards, it was VERY needed. Labor was abused and unfairly underpaid, and forced to work unreasonable hours under dangerous conditions. The problem is that once those issues were resolved, the unions kept pushing and pushing until now, when it's swung so far the other way, that companies can't afford to have union labor, so they're outsourcing and shutting down. The union leaders are well-paid, and plenty secure, but the union members are at the mercy of the leaders, who have nothing to lose when they gamble with lives & jobs and make impossible demands. Do those workers REALLY think that non-union workers HAVEN'T taken huge cuts, along with business owners? They're not in the real world, and sadly, this firing of 18K people is the tip of the iceberg. Twinkies will indeed be made again with a new owner, and it will be non-unionized if it's going to be in business in the USA. I don't say whether that's fair or unfair, or right or wrong; I just state it as a fact.
Wait 'til so many union workers find out that their pensions are all just a bunch of ink on paper, and that they were lied to, and when they need to use their free medical care, and are told their illness isn't covered. Ask any airline pilots from Delta or most any other airline, and ask anyone whose union had retirement funds in 401Ks in the 90s. I got a statement from a 401K that I had when I briefly worked for a unionized electronics firm, and I didn't bother to keep the statement because whatever it said my accumulated balance is, might as well be Monopoly money. In today's working world, it's every man for himself and every woman for herself.

I'm not sure that I'd blame the unions per see. There are alot of things that led to it's downfall.
Then again, easy answers are easy. Evil unions that want a pension and evil management that triples it's salary.

To generalize each and every union is not the right way to address this by saying assuming that every union and its leaders are out to destroy businesses and pad their pockets and benefits with as much ad they can. Even today, most unions do nothing but good for the people in their unions AND the economy in general especially with the larger companies.
I will give my company as an example. My union was threatened during contract negotiations by the company of having our wages slashed by 30%, our benefit premiums rising by 20%, taking away one weeks vacation, and denying retirement benefits for any new hires. This was all during a time when the company saw record profits and our companies overall sales went from 6.7 billion to 8.3 billion while the CEO and board of directors got millions more in salary and bonuses. The company cited "the recession and tough economic times" as the reason the cutbacks were necessary without a reduction in workforce. They were trying to pull the wool over our eyes when we could see clearly that they were using the current American economy as an excuse to reduce our pay and benefits, despite being a global supplier and the fact that THEY MADE MORE MONEY DURING THIS TIME AND WERE CONTINUING THE TREND!!
Don't speak down on unions without walking down the road I walk on every day. I've been battling these assholes as for years....and paid union official? What's that? The only thing I get is my pride of protecting my brothers and sisters so they can provide for their families. I get no monetary compensation.
