Reply #6: I'll tell you what I think it is is about..

... it's about the fact that 90% of us are not in unions. When our employers decide to shit on us, our options are two, take it or quit.

In an economy like ours quitting is not an option for the vast majority of people. So, quite simply I think it's pretty easy to whip up resentment among people who don't have the luxury of a "strike".

Frankly, I don't like the balance of power between workers and management but I'm not that enamored of unions either.
