Interesting little tidbit done by theSaskatoon and District Labour Council. Here are 10 Fairy Tales people believe about unions, with rebuttals to each at the link:

Quote:
Why Are People Forced To Join Unions And Pay Dues?
Unions Are Always Making Unreasonable Demands?
Unions Are Only Interested In Money
Unions Are Strike Happy
Aren’t Unions Too Big And Powerful?
Unions Were Good At One Time But Haven't They Outlived Their Usefulness?
The Public Is Not Represented In — And Is The Innocent Victim Of — Strikes By Workers In The Public Sector
Unions Protect The Lazy... The People Who Should Be Fired
Unions Only Care About Themselves
Why Do These Fairytales And Fables About Unions Exist?

A good little piece that should be required reading. I just wish they had taken the time to proof read it a bit better and caught some of the typos which distract from an otherwise good sound argument.
