Unions were useful in the past because it was easy for a company to be the only game in town, thus creating an opportunity for corruption. As the US moved from an agrarian economy to an industrial one farm pay dropped off the map and the major replacement was factory/corporate work. Your average worker had little communication and little travel opportunity. He had no idea what jobs were 100 miles away much less 1000 and travel was prohibitively expensive. Unions helped ensure that those workers weren't taken advantage of. None of that is true today. You can pick up a telecommuting gig in Eastern Europe and Japan and work them both. Unions are, therefore, relics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243255 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
