here is my take, I grew up in a union household and most of my extended family worked for union defense shops in CT.
All those defense companies - mostly union, mostly GONE
US Auto industry - mostly union, mostly GONE
US Teachers? - there because we have no choice, if they were a company and everyone had a choice for charter or private - they'd be GONE too.

Anyone see a pattern here? Can anyone show me where unions have lead to successful business enterprises, anywhere?
Can you imagine if companies like HP, Sony, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Motorola, etc had the same policy of laying off employees based on tenure? PCs would still be the size of refrigerators and you'd be jamming out to Peter Frampton on your 8-track players!!!
I'd love to be proved wrong but just don't see it.
