But - surprise! - Mr. Speck'suniondoesn't see it that way. It's backing his claim: "Our position is we believe he has suffered a stress-related injury on the job," union president Lt. Patrick McMahon said.

Disgraceful. And rest of the union lets it go because maybe one day they can game the system too, even if they all look bad as a result. Right?

I think, in the past, unions served a valuable purpose. Worker protection for conditions, hours, child labor, numerous things...but with federal regulation (much of it from valid prompts by unions) and the fact that very little happens in a vacuum anymore, that time is past. Those unions that exist now are often like tails that wag dogs. There is a reason that companies that don't have to deal with unions...don't.
