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.
