[quote=paramount]As you pointed out, were already being squeezed by corporations and gov’t policies dictated by those same corporations; the last thing we need is to pay for untold #’s of fat cat gov’t workers (and utility workers as well) golden pensions and overly generous benefits.

Once the unions are gone, what makes you think those corporations are going to be any more generous? What makes you think they are even going to leave things as they are? Once the unions are gone, there will be nobody left to defend the workers against the large corporations.
The loss of unions in the private sector is responsible for those corporations squeezing you. Why do people not understand that?
Unions are the counterbalance to the corporations’ greed. Without them, there is absolutely nothing left to prop up the middle class. Nothing. Perhaps you are okay with that, but I’m not.
