[QUOTE="Megansman, post: 1068585, member: 6347"] The heart of the matter... Unions are a monopoly. UPS is forced to shop for it's labor in a market with only one supplier. That supplier is solely interested in profit for their own organization -- through dues, increased membership, control of the pension, etc. If the Teamsters can force Hostess to hire loaders to load twinkies and only twinkies into the twinkie truck while next to him is a guy loading bread and only bread into the bread truck, driven by the bread guy and the twinkie guy respectively, going to the same stores at the same time... well so be it, that's more jobs and more paying members. Think about it another way... as bad as my beloved Lions are this year, think about how much worse they'd be if Rodney Peete was still quarterbacking for them, with Herman Moore running pass routes, not because they're the best, but they have seniority and have paid dues into the Players Union longer than Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford. Funny how the union ALWAYS says "The company is making plenty of money" right up until they don't and go bankrupt. I'm a Lions fan (Tigers and Pistons too) because I grew up in Michigan and watched business after business, either leave or go belly up after they stopped making "plenty of money." [/QUOTE]
