I'd like to hear more from anyone who has positive or negative personal experience with unions too.
I worked in Aerospace while I was working toward my Bach Degree at night. My position was classified as "management", though I primarily interfaced with union employees on the manufacturing floor. There was a lot of dead weight amongst union employees with seniority (but some great productive people too). That's my only direct experience with unions and that was back in the late 80s and early 90s.
Note:
This quote from my OP is no longer valid: "With the unemployment rate shooting rom 7.0% in Oct 2012 to 7.8% in Nov 2012..."
I read this morning that the unemployment rate for November has been adjusted (along with September's and October's). The new report shows that November's unemployment rate is 7.7%, which is the lowest in 4 years after adjustments.
