Ready for union represented mechanics, UAW or other? A RESOUNDING yes. Unions bring education and competence standards to the areas they represent and fairness to how these standards are enforced.
Blame all the current woes of the American experience on organized labor as many do, if it was not for the organized labor movement most Americans would not have achieved the benefits of the industrial revolution we now enjoy.
Was it effective? Depends on point of view, but private sector union membership is less than 8% of the work force and I do not know of anyone who would argue the middle class is better off today than it was 20 0r 30 years ago. I do try to avoid these kinds of arguments but any insistence that organized labor is bad brings out my long guns.
Moderators may ban me as they want, but this is my view.
