Unions are still pretty strong in EU still.

YUP, thats how idiotic and short sighted these morons are.

I have the pleasure of working with such idiots on a weekly basis.

Unions attract the dummbest, stupidest people in our society. Not all "brothers and sisters" are bad, only about 92.26% of them however!!!

the stock market is gonna TANK tomorrow. We could see a drop of over 1,000 pts. The auto companies need to go under. That is the only way to dissolve the unions. I hope that they go under, and get bought by toyota or something.
