Rift Builds Between Obama and Unions

Note: I have no issues with trade unions. I work directly with union welders, electricians and pipefitters all the time. Trade unions provide skilled workers who build quality and take pride in their accomplishments.

Public sector unions are unneccessary and dangerous. A data entry worker doesn't need a union to protect them. They just need to take responsibility for their own lives. A miner working 1,000 feet down needs protection. Public sector unions are not organized labor, they're organized crime.

Judging by Michael Moore's re-Tweet below (and common sense), we're likely seeing the beginning of bad blood. Unions aren't happy about this, nor should they be:

God I hope so.
