[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 928675, member: 2189"] Trplnkl, I concur with Sleeve in your point about unions and corp. being the same. Modern unions are not the fraternal and mutual interest organizations they once were are and now nothing more than modern businesses in contract enforcement. I don't expect you to agree with the conclusions but political theorist Kevin Carson wrote a treatise on labor entitled, [URL="http://c4ss.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/C4SS-Labor.pdf"][COLOR=#ff0000]"Labor Struggle, A Free Market Model"[/COLOR][/URL] in which he discusses with depth the labor movement in the country beginning in the latter 19th century and coming forward. Even those who disagree with Carson's conclusions have commented that his historical analysis of American labor was well done and worth the read. As a 30 year Teamster I often felt conflicted with unionism with my belief if absolute free markets until I read Carson and realized that absolute free markets was labor's best friend and very campatible with while being big business worse nightmare. Wish more of my union brothers and sisters would read Carson and at least consider the history of the labor struggle. IMO we've been sold a very bad bill of goods and we continue to keep buying it.
