Every time the working stiffs they represent got a raise, the first thing the union did was increase dues; if they got a 10% pay raise, the union got 20% of it. Try to explain to the workers what was going on, that they were being scammed was like talking to a 2 year old. They either couldn't comprehend it, or didnt want to.

So what makes them any less dangerous than those evil, greedy capitalists that just wanna make a buck? Other than the insurance companies do it with their own money, the union does it with everybody else'.
