Good.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Good that they thwarted the union, or good that they aren't being allowed to set up shop in California neighborhoods?
I myself am currently boycotting Wal-Mart.

My brother's been working for Walmart for about 10 years. The employees have rejected unions numerous times. We can see how well the unions helped out the strikers at Vons.
Now get to work!

No (not seriously anyway), he feels that they are a good employer and he is a congenital under achiever.

Why?
I can understand why you would be against unions supported by the government. I am personally against the government enabling, or disabling unions, but if people want to band together to become a stronger force for getting what they want, I say more power to them.
Is individual wealth the only legitimate form of power in your eyes?

I agree, collective bargaining is often the best method for the unskilled, unambitious and/or lazy to obtain higher wages. However, for those who are talented, ambitious and/or willing to work hard, it's often like shooting yourself in the foot.

Why? My observations of unions is that they protect the marginal, don't know when to be satisfied and spend their members dues in ways the members do not always wish them to.
They served their purpose and need to go away.
