When labor unions were originally formed they were formed with the workers best interest in mind, but they have driffted away from their original intent. IMO the unions especially the UMWA's downfall was their own fault, most unions have become to big and powerfull, once that happens they become greedy and lose sight of their purpose.



The last 2 trucks I bought were Toyota's both assembled in the U.S. with the first having over 330,000 miles without any major repairs. With the good service I bought the second one which now has over 200,000. I look at it like this, GM is now owned by the U.S. Government, which is basically owned by Chinia, which to me makes GM a foreign owned company.

In the days of John L. Lewis there was definately a purpose, but now that purpose is upheld by the federal governmnent.

You can also throw the UAW, USW, and the Teamsters in that statement as well.
