    Harley re invents itself and proves union jobs

    This article is from the NYTimes today. It's the story of Harley Davidson re inventing how it manufactured its motorcycles and in the process discovered how experienced union machinists proved to be a benefit to the company and product. Interesting. Here is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/02/ma...faster.html?hp

    Just imagine how many more jobs could have been saved if they had scrapped the union and the millions of $$ the union is sucking out of their members. After seeing firsthand the blatant destruction that unions cause to productivity, ambition, work ethic, and job skills, I have to say that the remaining HD employees and factory survived DESPITE of the union, not because of it.
