I tend to think that, overall, unions have been a good thing for US workers (all the current "rights" enjoyed by workers, such as vacations, weekends, overtime, and a finite work week were the result of union action; that they are being eroded is because of a political elite who feel that individual rights are trumped by corporate convenience). Of course, I currently believe that the one group of workers with the most powerful union is (US) corporate CEO's: their compensation is decided by boards that are under their influence, and usually consist of (shocker, this) other corporate CEO's.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
