I think unions should be outdated, but unfortunately, where ever there aren't unions, wages go down. It's pretty much automatic. I've worked as a white collar guy in a factory. I know what a pain in the ass the UAW is. But forgetting the particulars, and just focusing on the big picture, it seems that unions are good for people, generally. We wouldn't need them so much if people had more true representation in Congress.
