I'm a union member and have belong to a union for 40yrs. But like any buisness, that is what a union is, and their first priority is to survive. Just like the post office and it's managing ideas are out dated so are the unions that represent us. I have read the commissions report and one thing I have to agree with, we have to look at the private sector and compare our contracts and change so we are competing on the same level. If we did we would gain in some areas and lose in others but we will be able to strengthen out jobs by playing on the same level.
