[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 912153, member: 18044"] There's a fourth option: Wait a few years as Big Labor travels further down its road to self-destruction. Organized Labor has been going slowly, steadily downhill for over half a century, in good times and bad, under Democrats and Republicans alike. Now Labor has hitched its ride to the Radical Left and the Occupy Movement. That alienates a lot of people. Union Pension Funds are a financial disaster and will only get worse as no new members or employers want to get on a sinking ship. The Unions in Federal, State and Local Government have so worn out their welcome that even Democrat Mayors, and Governors have turned against them. Paying for their demands is seen as impossible as it will lead to bankruptcy. Look for Unions to be banned in most Government workplaces, or at least greatly reduced in power. The public is turned off by Union strong-arm tactics and violence. The NLRB is key to Union strength. But it has been so pro-Labor that a backlash is brewing. Look for it to be reduced in power, and Labor Laws rewritten. The prolonged Recession/Depression is hurting Unions by reducing membership, and reducing investment earnings in their benefit funds. And then there's five more years of Hoffa, the impossible-to-reform Old Guard, concessionary Contracts, a non-functioning National Grievance Committee, high dues for very little representation, and an angry and dejected workforce. The End Is Near. [/QUOTE]
