Unions?

Unions have declared war on Wisconsin Guv. Walker.  In spite of the fact that the state is now in the black.  Local unions have enlisted help from union leaders all over the country to raise tons of money in order to recall Walker and other elected legislators who are on his side.  Union members in Wisconsin now have to pay more for their own Health Care package, but still short of what the private sector pays.
With all this "Union Goon" business I am reminded that in the middle of WWII while our troops were fighting and dieing in Europe and the Pacific the unions went on strike in the steel mills and three times in the coal mines.  John L. Lewis sent his men back into the mines only after Roosevelt threatened him with prison.  Want me to believe that unions are good for this country?  No Way!
