There being so tightly intertwined with politics is not a good thing. Now they manage a tax exemption that all the rest of us will have to pay. How is that fair?

Absolutely.

It looks to me like these days the worker is caught between 'Big Corporations' and 'Big Unions'.

Getting screwed from both ends now.:dead:

May not seem like that in the USA but it sure does in the UK.

A fundamental principle dating back to the Tolpuddle Martyrs era is a one of "The workers/membership are the union".

I think the US unions are different from the UK ones when it comes to operations? I think the US unions are too demanding and killing off their own industries (see US auto:shifty:) The industry I work in, the semi-conductor industry thrives, because it is not unionized imo, as it is too competitive. The funny thing is, in Korea their semi-conductor industry is unionized and they get worked like dogs.:o
I think the anti-christ unions are the public employee ones (NOT including the police unions, I think they function how a union is supposed to function, but I digress). They are totally disconected from reality. They only take wealth but do not generate any.

You are correct. For the big corp side, you mean the HR dept, they are the antichrist and should be avoided at all costs.:o
