The "union fat cats" line is exactly the sort of discourse that union busters want you to use. It is straight out of their playbook. If you don't believe me, take a look at how public sector union busting campaigns have played out over the last few years (Wisconsin is a great example).

Are there inefficiencies in unions? Sure. Does this negate the overall good that union solidarity brings in terms of work rules, wages, etc.? Nope. Go back to when ALPA was started in the 30's and you'll see owners bent on pushing their pilots in unsafe ways for minimal pay. This is the constant tension between management and labor that is, at least, tempered by unionism.
