Unions, all over the world, will be the only responsibles for the crash and burn of all economies!!!
the stupid unionyzed employees keep asking for more and more.....but all of a sudden will wake up broke and unemployed...all of them

Agreed. Thank goodness they're on the decline in the U.S. and the vast majority of workers aren't in one. Now we need to get rid of the government employees unions which are a disgrace. If you don't like your job for whatever reason, quit and find another one!
