Ok.  As I stated before.  We will never see eye to eye on this because you believe that one bad person/corrupt deal involving a union means all people associated with unions and all of their contracts are dirty or in your usual nasty tone.  Union scumbags. 
  
Hell, I could say that about the management within every company or state right?  They all skim money or give themselves ridiculous bonuses or cook the books.  But I know better than that.  I don't and will never make a blanket statement like that. 
  
I will say (again) that yes, I do know and understand that unions have those types of people within.  I wish they could find and remove them, no matter how high up they are within the union.  I have also said that I wish unions would smarten up, reevaluate and renegotiate their contracts.  Especially when they know for a fact that they may a primary or even secondary cause for a state or institutions financial problems. 
  
We don't see eye to eye and that's fine.
