strong-arm societies

from what i can tell, unions appear to be obsolete. in fact, maybe they're just an outright hindrance to our society at this point. for instance, think of how disruptive a public transit or school strike is. the wrong people are hurt and gosh for you guys, tax money pays you, etc.... you ought to be spitting on your students & parents and passengers. and manufacturing, do you know why your jobs are going overseas? also being a consumer, you're demanding lower prices. that also means the cost to produce needs to go down. you can only inject so much cost before it's just impractical. (yes, of course there are many business-men selling our country out.) perhaps we're just not content with our wages, when they may just be fair for what the work is.

beyond that, with all the decades-worth of laws and even organizations such as OSHA out there, i doubt there is any real need left.
BUT
if unions are truly necessary still, then there ought to be a salaried office-worker's unions. then all you working in cubicles could perhaps demand compensation for all the hours you're forced to work over 40 to prove you "care" or are "dedicated". that's some abuse that ought to be fought.

just tell me no. believe me, it's ok if you do. it's the silence that's more hurtful... perhaps just plain disrespectful, selfish, lazy, inconsiderate...

i'm among the generation that's so guilty of this. it needs to stop.
