Here's another one for you...Companies get the unions they deserve.

Let's face it. Unions have had their day. The pendulum swung too far to the left and now it's payback time. Union contracts all over North America have been immolated. Ask the CAW. Ask ACPA.

The only unions making any gains are the government unions. They are still on the gravy train but only because of their unique situation. That is , WE get to pay their outsizes pensions and juicy pay packets because our politicians are giving away OUR money to avoid nasty situations that might affect their re-election.

There are scores of pilots in North America who are severely underpaid but that is the result of problems much more complicated than non-unionisation.
