[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1192810, member: 26998"] Have you looked at the percentage of the work force that's unionized today as opposed to 30 years ago or even last year. Many workers at UPS are in the union because they are compelled to by closed shop states. Here in Michigan it will be interesting to see how many remain in the union now that we are a RTW state. The reality is that unionization and union workers are a shrinking part of the labor market. I feel that those McDonalds and KFC workers have absolutely no intention of joining a union or paying dues, they are like most others and prefer that someone else (like the government or the Teamsters) do all the heavy lifting while they reap the benefits. I certainly wont be wasting any time walking a picket line with them until they actually grow some hair and sign the cards and vote the union in. Of course then I wouldn't have to walk their picket line, they could do that themselves. Then again, if the government abides by their protestations and raises their wages, no one will need to walk any picket line. [/QUOTE]
