Just think of all of the cool stuff they could have purchased....
New car, new boat, cool vacations.

Congrats Aramike  .
@ Haplo, by big labo(u)r, you mean public sector, not private sector unions.  |
Yes it was public sector unions that "took the hit" when it came to the original reforms - but private sector unions were indeed a significant part of the recall process. The Teamsters Union was actively working on behalf of the recall effort, for example.
When it comes to the lessening of power of unions - both public and private lost a lot of political clout since both sides were so invested.
