Time to rein in unions

If you needed a clear picture of why Unions need to be severely restricted and held to a higher standard, read this story.
It is bad enough that unions have saddled us with crushing debt through unfunded pension liabilities while guaranteeing themselves early retirements and unbelievable job security while garnering compensation far in excess of similar jobs in the private sector.
But even worse is the pervasive attitude of power and entitlement.
When unions think it is acceptable for them to shut down transportation and vital supplies in order to secure insulation from real world difficulties (thereby doubling the pain of those on the hook for their comfortable lifestyle), they show how incredibly dangerous they have become.

Union leaders and thugs who commit or allow crimes like those being committed in Europe and in the Mediterranean, should be jailed for their actions.
