Actually, this has been a great discussion thread, I've worked in union, non-union and even government jobs over the years, I've seen people who put their back into everything they do, and I've also seen slackers in all of these places - it all seems to come down to the nature of the individual. If union folks get a bad rap, it is probably because they are so visible in society, plumbers, electricians, teachers, road crews, fire fighters, bus drivers, police officers (that last one might touch a nerve with Pantera drivers) and if you look hard enough, you're sure to spot someone leaning on a shovel at the side of the road, or maybe spending too much time at the donut shop - but everyone benefits from the skills and dedication of the other 99 out of 100.
