A bribe is a bribe whether you call it that, or greenmail or lobbying.
The unions use intimidation - when they are nice, violence when they are not - to extract what amounts to bribes from employers. Companies, such as miners, that have large investments in immovable assets are at a great disadvantage in "negotiations". The only method that works, if your pockets are deep enough, is to shut down until the union bosses are shouted down by the rank and file.

I think of Kaiser Aluminum. Henry Ford had the answer, but the US government stepped in and forced him to accept the union. Lockouts - the solution to the problem - are now illegal in the US. Can they still be used in Mexico?
