I used to think this way; even having grown up in and around Detroit. But it only takes a few years of actually paying attention to continued corporate abuse of employees -- numerous cases of flagrant violations of labor law and regulations -- to realize that's completely wrong.

All unions are not the UAW or Teamsters any more than all companies are Enron and Merrill Lynch.

So the alternative is unions which empower the opposite form of abuse? It seems that a balance is the problem, one is always stronger than the other.
