Kleaven Maniscalco if Palumbo treats the workers well and not as slaves then it should not have any problems.

Who is afraid of Virginia Wolf??? Unions are their to protect workers and their interests. If they do less or more, they are not worth the fee the get from their members.

Marriage or Divorce, it has been proven that the Government is not afraid of any Union. You know why? Because when trouble brews for workers, being individual or group cases, it is the Union who sits (or should sit, anyway) round a table and discuss.

Now that I am retired myself, and proundly confirm that I was one of the founding members of the UHM, when this meant trouble, I urge all workers not to give up on Union Membership. It would be giving up a right, and and obligation, on something that our fathers and grandfathers fought so hard to achieve. Unionization is one of the fondamental rights of all workers.
