8. The unions need to take a good like at themselves.
Not union workers but the unions and their leadership. The unions have changed over the years and that's what many don't realize since so many are either pro-union or against them and that's the only mentality they use. If they are told by their union and their political leaders that unions are good then they obey and agree with what they're told...until their factory gets shut down and they're no longer a dues paying member. Then they get told by the union to "fuck off".

The unions were once there for the workers benefit but now it's for a few select leaders and the highest priority is political access and influence.
