Thomas Sowell on "Union Myths"

http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...-sowell?page=1

some snippets:

The biggest myth about labor unions is that unions are for workers. Unions are for unions, just as corporations are for corporations and politicians are for politicians.

It takes world-class chutzpah to call circumventing secret ballots the “Employee Free Choice Act.”

The most fundamental fact about labor unions is that they do not create any wealth. They are one of a growing number of institutions which specialize in siphoning off wealth created by others, whether they are businesses or the taxpayers.

Re: Thomas Sowell on "Union Myths"

Sowell is as usual, correct.

The man has a nack for getting to the heart of the matter and the quote above does just that.
