Yeah. We can survive me taking a few day off thanks to all the previous overtime. At least I am not in a panic about money. And I carry my own insurance, so I don't have to worry about being able to take Drake to the hospital or something.

That is the argument I support. Unions do have am important place in the overall labor/management balance. I have seen non-Union plants that are run well and I have seen non-Union shops abusive to their employees.
