As a foreigner I still cannot understand how the unions got the powers they do in the USA.

Here they just negiotiate sector contracts and they offer some limited help if you have problems with your boss.

From what I read, there in the US its like the mob with their protection money.

Technically that is inacurate. The mob is much more cost effective.

That's for a number of reasons. The main 1 being that well what they did may have been unethical, in most cases it was not actually illegal.

That's Maggie Thatcher (British Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990) snuffed it. Notorious for being extremely controversial and, to quite a number of the British public, quite a bitch.

She also wanted primary school children not to receive cartons of milk, to which she was nicknamed 'The Milk Snatcher'. Or, Thatcher the Milk Snatcher.

Did you watch the program? I think it's also cowardice, a failure of the Obama administration. There definitely seems to be some fraudulent stuff there.
