Organized labor

So in general I'm a flaming liberal. A registered Democrat. A mama for Obama. You get the picture....

But I have to confess, I've never been a fan of unions. Yes, I know they did great things for workers. Triangle Fire. Working wage. Health care. Etc. etc. etc. I get it, I do.

But still. Too often I've seen tenure/union status abused as a cover for mediocrity. Nah, that's being nice - I've seen Unions protects people that should flat out be fired.

And strikes? They suck. ESPECIALLY when the striking worker is your four-month old that refuses to nurse.

That's right folks, we've got a nursing strike on our hands.

I just want to know when the inflatable rat is going to show up.
