Then again, the escalation of the demands made by unions over time would suggest that their principle goals were to be greedy and manipulative from the get go. The state of unions today is the logical extension of the unions of the past.
Nonsense. That's like saying the United States political system's entire original intent was greed and corruption because of what it's like today. The greed and corruption of the Unions evolved over time along with organized crime and political pressures.
And yes, Unions have served their time. I don't think it's unreasonable to re-introduce hard work and personal responsibility to the American laborer. We've become too coddled and soft, and other countries are swamping us because of it. If this keeps up, America will just be the country that pays the world to make us stuff (if that's not already the case)...
