Some people need to travel around the world a bit and see how corporations treat the vast majority of their non-union employees. For every example of a workplace operating safely and in good order without a Union there are many more who operate elsewhere in absolutely SCARY conditions without Unions and with no recourse..
I guess you're saying that all of the Unions you've ever encountered SUCKED. Fair enough.
These union guys should just go chill with their Chrysler UAW counterparts and enjoy being on strike. Beats vandalizing Verizon property.
And it could also be wonderful drunk guido union workers upset that Beatrice, their underaged mistress, dumped them for their baby's daddy.
The truth of the matter is that we are experiencing an income disparity that is growing at an alarming rate. Are some unions corrupt? Sure. But almost all corporations have the sole responsibility to enrich their shareholders, often with no regard for the human capital that powers them. As the middle class in the United States disappears, the few that hold the power and riches benefit. Unions are one way of maintaining some semblance of balance between workers and management.

The United States has the richest poor people the world has ever known. But for many, it isn't enough to be historically well off, with refrigerators and stoves, dishwashers and clothes washers, hot water heaters and air conditioners, multiple televisions, game systems and computers. And mobile phones.
It doesn't matter if you have more than rich people a hundred year ago had. What matters is that there is someone who has more than you. A lot more. You who admire professional athletes and forgive them their wealth because you know you can't do what they do, yet you see a rich CEO of a major corporation and you seethe. What gives him the right to be rich? But you fail to appreciate that you can no more do what he does than you could match Micheal Jordan. Simply put, if you could do it, you'd be doing it. They've been vetted every step of the way for decades. Perhaps you have as well. Only you weren't cut out to be a corporate super star. Don't feel bad. Neither was I. But I don't resent those who were. I've met a few of them over the years and, generally speaking, they are very, very good at what they do.
This is about envy. People wanting what they don't deserve and haven't earned. Resenting those who worker harder, plan better and avoid doing stupid things. You know what I resent? I resent people who make good money for performing a relatively simple job and complain bitterly while demanding more, or else. Every day that goes by, the eager-to-work replacements are learning more and getting better at their jobs. Every day that goes by, the union gets weaker. How long before they are no longer needed at all?
Regardless of your dispute with your employer, sabotage is a criminal act. I hope those who are screwing regular folks to try to hurt Verizon get the justice they deserve, and Sasquatch for a cellmate.
