I believe that unionization is one of the things that has stifled the American economy, by making people equal, regardless of ability. Seniority should have NO bearing on remuneration for services. Performance should be the only foundation upon which it is laid. In a pure market economy, Darwin's theory of natural selection works perfectly. If an owner of ANY business doesn't do the right thing, his employees will go elsewhere. In turn, he will get less productive employees, devaluing his business. There's a good reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere... it's a system that reduces individual motivation. Unionism is just another form of socialism and should be abolished.

Lee, you need to go back to school and take American History 101. Just because things get taking to the extreme, it does'nt mean it was for the worse. Child Labor laws , decent working hours and conditions were NOT the result of the UNOIN. It was the unions existence that brought about change to the arrogant dictorial big business attitude that could care less about everything except their profits.
I know you don't believe this but the Biblical order of creation was heaven, earth , man. Not Big Business, a Stock Market and then a labor force. Sorry, don't know that much about Monkey Theory, then again mabey I don't want to.
