It seems like they (union members) aren't smart enough to realize that working in a company is a team thing, not a us-versus-them thing. They just blindly follow their union leadership. A good example is the recent Safeway strike in Southern California. They struck for about 6 months and in the end they got absolutely nothing. David R
