#1 Private unions have been slowly dying for decades. It's the public unions which are swelling their evil ranks.

#2 It's the compelled to join by law (aka involuntary servitude) public unions which are swelling their evil ranks.

#3 It would be interesting to track the 'leadership' of the former Bakery Union to see if they're collection unemployment or were taking care of by the 'movement' to other positions in the ~~guild~~ hierarchy.

#4 can't vouch for other municipalities/states, but my eeeeevil (closed shop) public union has shrunk. Managed Competition with private industry (to some extent), cutbacks in pay (6% since 2009) and benefits (no pension - 401K's only for new hires since last year). We aren't allowed to strike and have never had that stranglehold so many claim. I guess we're doing it wrong :-)

#5 The Marxist/Leftist-Globalists intend or desire for the post-2015, "borderless", OWG-GFU suborned Amerika to be completely unionized - THE SNAFU IN THEIR SCHEMING IS HOW ARE ORDINARY AMERIKANS + LEFTFED GOING TO PAY + SUPPORT US-SPECIFIC WORKPLACE UNIONS [read, $$$ Dues = Accts Payable] WHEN NO ONE HAS A FULL-TIME = 8-HOUR + OT JOB ANYMORE, WHILE THE MILYUHNS + DILYUHNS OF FOREIGN WORKERS INVITED TO LIVE + WORK IN PAN-TTP AMERIKA ARE SALARIED AT BELOW THE US/FED MINIMUM WAGE???

Lest we fergit, OWG-NWO + "Globalism" = "PART-TIME/LESS-THAN-PART-TIME IS THE NEW FULL-TIME".

FEAR NOTTETH, HOSTESS-LOVERS, SURELY CANADA + MEXICO + GREENLAND + ..... ....@ETC. WILL PAY FOR OUR SUGARY UNION "SPACE/STAR SNACKS"!

D *** NG IT, ITS FOR THE GALACTIC REPUBLIC!
