Hereing all this from several sides, and with an unusual relationship with
unions and unionism all my life, (I'm a life-member or AFTRA, and ACTRA) I
think that Unions, like religions and political parties and animals,
DIFFER.
And trying to make sense of it all is futile.
MY unions, guaranteed scale, that I wouldn't be ripped off, residuals were
fair...and I was allowed to earn an honest living: show where this has
harmed a capitalist or capitalism? They also provided a pleasant retirement
(Along with my brilliant financial planning:"Let's roll the dice!", 

People who bitch about unions are robots of corporate greed
People who bitch about corporations are ninneys.

The truth must be told, world!
