And such attitudes have sent many companies to other places....either to states with right to work laws or even to other countries. Most unions are outdated and no longer serve the purpose for which they were founded. They now walk a fine line between extortion and representing the workers' safety and fair treatment. Detroit is seeing the worst of the affects of unions where they held on so long that the US car makers just couldn't compete against global competition and have lost a enormous share of the world market as a result. Instead of making high wages as the unions have pushed for, now many of those union members are making no wages while someone in Korea has a job. Of course, they'll blame it on the business for being greedy....and then go buy their groceries at the store with the cheapest prices.
