Did you know that unions put "organizers" secretly in non-union businesses to talk to employees about union benefits? I've seen my husband, a Teamster, and the most radical Teamster you can hope to meet, walk a picket line while the "scabs" cross the picket line and take their jobs? Yep. Ronald Reagan took the bite out of strikes. Ever since, the unions and American workers, whether union or not, have seen their benefits go to almost nil.
