   What turns me off about unions is:   
      
   Airlines operate off of slim profit margins as it is, they have to be flying   
   constantly...   
      
   (This explains why they got into big doo doo after 911 and needed bail out,   
   when the airspace was closed down.)   
      
   Eastern Airlines, while not a well run airline, was already in dire straits,   
   the machinists union calls a strike and they couldnt fly, that strike finished   
   off the airline, so I guess the union saved them jobs??? (The airline filed   
   for bankruptcy, Trump bought it, and later sold it to Branson..   
      
   I cannot understand why unions strike, while others are out of work..   
      
   Cost of labor brings up cost of goods, maybe you can understand why liberal   
   bastion 'Apple' has outsourced manufacturing to Foxconn (china).   
      
   You dont have to be right wing to be anti-union.
