[QUOTE="Michael Cacioppo, post: 565294, member: 57235"] Oil sales is basically NOT a Closed shop. Sellers that are NOT part of the OPEC "UNION" may sell their product at what ever price they want. Most unions are closed shops. That is that you MUST belong to the union or you can't work there. This is my basic disagreement with unions. Additionally the Big three, or what used to be the big three American companies where not allowed to bargain with labor collectively because that would have been deemed a monopoly. The union however has a monopoly and could conspire together, since they were the same union among the three, and target any manufacturer they wanted. They'd strike Ford and allow GM and Chrysler to continue production and sales, thus extorting Ford. Rocco, I'm not trying to paint a picture depicting big business as benevolent and kindhearted, a Rocco, a monopoly on either side is just not sensible or productive. [/QUOTE]
