People take the five day work week for granted, like it was always there. Enjoy your weekends? Thank a Union. That's just one of many things that management is dying to take away from laborers in all services and industries.

Because their leadership is corrupt, and they don't represent the values of their members.

They are redundant. All they do is make a few people who pretend to care about the workers very rich. The only people it helps are the union officers.

They're demands and expectations typically are aimed to benefit one segment of a workforce.

Unions have a very important place in history and should be proud of the *past* accomplishments. Attempting to bring up the past to justify poor performance and often unethical behavior should not be tolerated especially by union members.

Even when the already rigged elections don't go the way they want, they always have a back door to circumvent the will of the people.

The voters spoke !!!! let it stand!!. Its not up to a few old bastards in the state government who just so happen to be taking the rest of the year off,, to decide to go against the will of the majority of the people.

I’ll never forget when my newborn was in the ER for coughing up blood. I asked my manager for help and she said “Well, I guess your husband will have to take care of her.” But he had to work too, and had a competitive job where half positions got fired recently and feared not completing his project.

I would not show up to work. There is no chance I would leave the side of my wife or children for anything.

Good for state morale. Less good for state revenue. Less good for residents who wish to attend games as ticket prices soar. But it keeps MO in national eye which is good for state economy.

Subsidizing private multi-billion dollar sports teams is not in the scope of a state government. Or any government. If progressives want to make the claim of letting billionaires, like the Hunt family, "to pay their fair share" well here's the time to make that claim.
