I am not a union member, but have the following comment.
Sure unions can and do go overboard, but without them we would have the same working conditions in the US that were had 100 years ago: No health insurance, no retirement, no vacation, six or seven 12 hour days, etc. In fact, this is what many workers in other countries have today. I am convinced that this is exactly what many in business are pushing for today in this country with the canceling of retirement plans through bankruptcy, etc.
Remember that FDR called businessmen "Attila The Huns in business suits". This is not true for most of them, but it is true of far too many. (Just remember Sarnoff of RCA, if you do not believe me).
I have a quote about corporations that I believe is very true:
"Do not love the company you work for it will not love you back."
