200. You're proud of a 0.3 Productivity Factor? I'd be embarrassed, but to each his own.

I don't hate the working class at all; I just dislike unions because my personal experiences with them have been bad.

As for what I support, that would be fairness. I believe workers should be free to organize or join a union if they want to, but I don't think they should be forced to, either by shop rules or intimidation. I don't think management should be able to sanction people for trying to organize a union and if a union is organized, I believe management should deal with it in good faith. If the union organization fails, as it did with VW, I believe the union should accept the will of the majority. In my opinion, this makes a level playing field and if unions are as great as you think they are, they should be able to live with that. Where do I have it wrong?
