if you ask me the unions are killing this country, and its not because we think they all just stand around, that's the road crews only, i know lots of union working people and they do work their balls off.
why should a job cost 2 or 3 times what a non union job cost to complete, the workers are the same, one gets 18 bucks an hr, and the union guys get 30 plus.
here an example: you got 100,000 square foot roof lets just say its a 300,000 dollar job, now make it a school aka public bid work, now that same roof costs 600,000 or more and why???? because the union needs to keep alive. not to mention all the down time union workers have, most work from job site to job site, no new work, you stay home and don't get paid.
sure you get a pension, and benefits, but you are paying for it, nothing is free. just like a non union job.
and lets face it the mob runs most of the unions anyways, all corrupt chit.
