Damn right.  It's about time that people realized that unions are
not the selfless servants of the workers they claim to be.  They're
just as greedy and selfish as the companies they work for.  Some people
seem to think that Burns is closing the plant for spite.  You have to be
as big as a government to close a plant for spite.   The workers at Burns
who trusted their leaders must realize that they are in business too, and
if they price themselves out of the competitive range, they will go out
of business.   Every company owner knows and lives with this.

It's time the forced monopoly of the unions was disolved.  To me the fact
that most unions have it set up that you must join the union to work for
the company is repugnant.   Why do they deserve an enforced monopoly any
more than other people?  (Why does anybody deserve a forced monopoly)
