RE: Woodshed (re techperson)I think you're correct insofar as unions serve to protect workers from greedy companies. Of course, they only represent some workers in some industries. Also, governments have laws that protect workers too. Oh and finally, the marketplace demands that skilled workers be fairly treated. Otherwise, they're apt to leave the company and it must must then incur the expense of hiring someone else until they too find another job. I guess the question is, who protects companies from greedy unions?
