One quick example:

The auto workers union single-handedly is to blame for the outsourcing of auto manufacturing to Mexico, and the loss of thousands of jobs. The pigheadedness and greed of that union is soley to blame for this happening.

Jiggy, only in a union person's way of thinking (the minority thought in this country) is being a so-called "scab" a bad thing. To the rest of the world, it is called doing a job that others have held hostage for selfish reasons. Yes, it is selfish to want more money than originally agreed to in a contract or agreement. They should be getting paid more, but that is not the point, which those with the "union mentality" do not see. Striking or walking off the job is not the best way to approach the matter, and you can't blame people for taking the jobs that you refuse to do, no matter the reason why.
