Last month, major stoppages due to strikes resulted in 4.1 million missed work days, the highest monthly total since August 2000.
And that’s even without the auto workers union.

That’s been my beef with unions. Awesome idea in theory, terrible in practice. I swear my local union is more interested in recruiting and collecting dues then representing it’s members. They let contracts negotiations lapse for years before doing anything, then fight for a paltry wage increase that’s fallen behind because of the lapses between negotiations.
