But then again, what makes unions tick in the first place has always been a mystery to me. They drove large manufacturers out of my hometown, took Detroit to its knees and now they are threatening to tear at the throat of the nation’s last great blue-collar profit maker." As a member of the USW working at U.S. refinery, I can understand why the USW rejected the contract. The wage increase would not cover what they (USW) want to take out for dues. The union will kill this just like they did in Detroit. The union must go! We don't need them any more. Our socialist government will make it all better...........yeah right “What makes a worker want to go on strike in this economic downturn, especially after they were promised a raise, remains out of my grasp.
