One of the most misunderstood people in the working world, from a white-collar workers point of view. Many are mechanics, electricians, and other technicians making $30-$40 an hour for jobs that most non-union employees would otherwise pay only half that much. Many union employers are those that reel you in and just let you go during the probationary period, even if you prove yourself hardworking and competent, but will keep the lazy and incompetent, just because they are friends with management or well-liked. If you have a blue-collar trade or skill, want to make a good wage, just want to put in a good 8 hours work a day, and no intention of trying to climb the corporate ladder, a union job is well-suited for you. And yes, many union workers are lazy shitbags that take numerous breaks and complain about everything, but there are many others that are honest, hardworking, and dedicated to their jobs. The union reps, with the backup of politicians and the mafia, are the ones who keep things going for the common working man. Many Republicans and conservatives dislike unions because they believe good money should be earned though merit and hard work and that anybody that does not have a college degree and works a skilled trade deserves just enough money to keep themselves fed and a roof over their head

1. Workers unite to fight the man; the man is so damn powerful individuals have no chance, but if we all stick together, maybe we've got a chance to earn a decent wage.
2. The same organization gets people "taken off the schedule" because they won't give up 20% of their paycheck. See irony.
1. Thanks to the union for the 40 hour work week, health insurance, sick days...
2. This union extortion could turn a democrat into a republican

Unions were designed to help workers and they did. Lives and working conditions for the workers improved. But the power of the unions got out of control as they took control of the government and made laws. Now the government denies a struggling businessman the right to try to get his business out of financial difficulty by cutting workers or their wages. Telliong people how to run their lives, sounds like fascism. Apparently unions think they have the right to a job and because of that the businesses will go out of business and everyone will be out of work.
Stupid Lawyer: You can't fire that worker, he worked here for ten years. He has family.
Business Owner: I understand, but I have to cut costs to stay in business or else I will go under and no one will have a job.
Lawyer: You disgusting Capitalist pig, how dare you run your business the way you choose.
Business Owner's Lawyer: I'm sorry, but he right, due to the union laws, you can't just fire him.

Where did the word 'Union' come from?
The word 'union,' in the sense of a 'labor union,' has a most interesting origin.
Its first known usage was in reference to a band of ne'er-do-well field hands in the East Suffolk Broads about 1762. But it was not pronounced as it is today.
Sounding more like 'onion,' the term was applied because of the field hands' skill at avoiding the labor they were hired to do. Whenever there was hard work in the offing, these 'onionists' would begin clamoring to go to the adjoining field to take a leek.
The term quickly won widespread acceptance and beame a source of endless mockery and derision. Humiliated, the early onionists worked desperately to erase the moniker but it stuck like glue.
About 1797, however, they perfected and bankrolled a scheme where, working in concert with Smythe-Scrimshaw (one of London's largest lexicograpical publishers), they managed to change the accepted pronunciation to what it is today.
Their plan took some seven years to unfold and was far too complicated to explain here but history records they finally brought an end to popular knowledge of their earliest and most favored pursuits.
The first union troglodytes built the pyramids. Engineers designed it to be a cube but, as each shift did a little less than the one before, the last said, 'let's just throw a couple of rocks up top and go have a beer.'
