While Unions haev their issues, they have served employees in other areas. One, in particular was overtime hours. Being an employee of a large aircraft manufacturer years ago during the aviation boom, many, many times the production line managers would come to the employees and DEMAND that the work into the night. So many of us had already worked 12-14 hours that day.

If you said NO, you were insubordinate and could be fired. If you agreed to work, then your family life was dead and your health began to decline to to lack of rest and inhalation of hazardous chemicals for prolonged periods (which was another issue the union helped address).

Just like everything else….MONEY changes people…Including the Leaders.
