[/caption]Did you know that in the private sector, only about 6% of employees are unionized? In the public sector, 36% are unionized? This tells us two things: first of all, the power of unions is way less that we originally thought. Judging by all of the reporting and screaming and shouting, it would lead you to believe that there are more people in unions than not. That is obviously not true: unions members are in the minority of workers, in both the private and public sector. And secondly, the unions are usually portrayed as supporting the common man or the middle class, against unfeeling, nasty, corporate overlords. The reality is that those “mean corporate overlords” are a tiny minority, of all business (I’m sure most businesses do care more for their employees, even in unionized industries). Most of those unions rail against the state, which is supposed to represent the people. So when you see public sector unions railing against their employer, calling them Hitler, etc, they are really talking to you. They are fighting the people.
