You mean, sort of like what Russia had before the fall of communism? Don't forget that Hitler didn't have any trouible with unions, either, as he just outlawed them.

I don't think you'll find many people here that would willingly share a foxhole with you.
I won't be paying them one red cent back. They have forced me to pay dues for years anyway so I don't owe them a thing, even if I succeed in my goal. I didn't say I wanted unions outlawed. I want unions to die a natural death. The right to strike isn't absolute. It's time to tell people you are free to quit at any time however don't expect your job back. If enough people quit then the contract will have to change. Again the threat of a union is more powerful than a union itself. You talk about Russia and hitler well lets talk about the RLA. Under the RLA you are basically FORCED to join the union. That is also like living under a dictatorship. The country got so focused on worrying about the right to organize they forget about all the people that get plowed under the bus by the union thugs. You talk about pilots being professionals. You don't see doctors or lawyers going on strike do you? It's time to decide are we professionals or just another blue collar profession dominated by constant union drama.
