Well.. more just like one union.
as someone who leans well to the left, i never quite understood why people* are against unions. obviously, i understand how someone might disagree or hate a specific union (which mostly boils down to the president or the board that runs the union), but those who are completely against unions i just don't understand. and this is coming from a teacher who has recently been screwed over by his union.
*i want to stipulate that by 'people' i mean the 90% of us who are not rich. i completely understand how those on the other side of the fence would love to get rid of all unions so it would be easier to take advantage of the working class. that makes perfect sense for those insanely greedy and selfish rich people out there who aren't satisfied with the millions they already have.
to get back on thread topic, that's one of the reasons i hate oprah with a burning passion. she is one of the richest women in the world and everyone thinks she's a fucking saint because she gives away stupid crap to her audience. she friggin' owns something like 5 mansions in the US alone. her net worth is somewhere around $3 billion. if she's so fucking great she would have taken a portion of her empire, sold it, and fucking solved the problem of world hunger (at least for some poor countries if not the majority of them). instead, she gives away donated products on her show and everyone loves her for it. fucking anti-christ. okay, i'll stop the rant now but i could go on (like about her fucking 'schools' for example - so nuts!)
