107. I see....
Because NBA players making $14M a year have so much in common with teachers, police, plumbers and electricians...and their union is fighting on the picket lines with other unions currently on strike? and all those NBA players were in Wisconsin this past winter to protest Scott Walker's attempts to end collective bargaining? Ever seen an NBA superstar walk the picket line with the food service union? the local construction workers union in cities where the arenas are built with non-union labor? The NBA Players "union" is no friend of the overall labor movement and to falsely equate them as such marks YOU as the corporate lackey.

Please...introducing false equivalency in the argument does not help the overall union cause one bit. These players are making more money now by a factor of 1000 compared to 20 years ago...how many other union employees work in industries where THAT is the case?
