unions should be closed and forced out of business. they no longer have a place in today's workplace. if a business treats employees poorly the word will get out and no one will work for them.

When a poster has to resort to acronyms of curse words, he has a lame argument. Am I happy with Larry Scott and his hardball with the largest satellite provider DTV? No. DO I think it's OK to hire non-union workers? Heck ya.

As a firm believer that unions outlived their usefulness many decades ago, I see nothing here that indicates anything other than a particular business model that doesn't want to use unions. Any worker is worth only as much as he's willing to accept from the employer; no one is twisting the arms of the non-union people to take the Pac 12 Network's money. And for a union to squawk at anyone accepting a job because they want to eat, that's simple greed on the part of the union. It's also foolishly ostracizing those who might one day have wanted to join said union.
