[QUOTE="Packmule, post: 2253717, member: 33558"] Blind loyalty to anyone is a recipe for corruption, lies and abuse. In 1980, there were 14 million Teamster's, by 97, 1.4 million and %85 of their companies were out of business. Not saying that was due to the union, just saying it was past due time for them to start building firewalls to lessen the damage to failing pension funds. Instead, they threw out some crap about part time jobs and hid the truth from the public that they were really using us to secure their ability to bleed us dry. In the end, unions are failing because throwing around names like scab don't intimidate anyone anymore. You want unions to flourish again? Give prospective members the ability to hold them accountable. Only a national right to work law will do that. So why am I back in the union? As I've said for years, the best recruiter the union has is the company, not forced unionism laws. They only breed mistrust, and we have the government for that roll. [/QUOTE]
