Happy Labor Day Indeed

Isn't it ironic that we celebrate what the labor unions brought to the table by taking a day off and not doing any work? I wonder how that's different from any other "work" day for them these days?

Yes, yes. Labor unions were needed last century and did help improve working conditions in this country. That said, their time is past. Just like everything else that becomes large, unwieldy and corrupt, labor unions are nothing more than large money sinks that cause more harm than good to both business AND workers in the 21st century.

And I'm not the only one with this view. More than half of Americans now view labor unions unfavorably.

People have finally seen the consequences of unions in the downfall of Chrysler and Government Motors along with the struggles of Ford. They've seen union goons beating up old people at town hall meetings. They see that unions have gotten far away from their original intent of protecting their workers to attacking ordinary Americans, both physically and in government. Their leaders push agendas in government like ObamaCare that are bad for not only ordinary non-union citizens, but also will be bad for their members too down the road when their private benefits disappear as well. And for what? The promise of Democratic support for "card check". The union leadership is only concerned in increasing their ranks in order to keep filling the coffers, not about you, not about me, and not even their workers.
