New York has highest union labor rate in the nation

According to this article New York has the highest union labor percentage in the nation. It seems strange that unions work for New York but not other states.

Maybe Larry Summers needs to visit New York and tell them they are doing it wrong. He wrote that unions are the problem.

Sheesh. The manipulation and undermining of the U.S. economy could not be more clear.

Summers is a barking idiot, he was Greenspan's hit man.

Can't think of a better place for the mecca of the modern labor movement than New York. They deserve each other.

Yeh, I can see why organized labor is such a pain in the arse to an HR guy.

I guess New York businessmen haven't followed the lovely moves of Michigan businessmen and done their state (and their country) a great favor by abandoning it?

The country would be much better off if we eliminated HR departments. When I was a Section Manager I bypassed them every chance I got because they would keep good people away from me just as a CYA move. Degrees never impressed me very much, I simply wanted people who could and would do the job, and I can spot them every time.
