"but with the current trends of huge corporate profits and the little guys getting squeezed at every turn" What dream world are you living in??? Neither Dish Network nor Direct TV have turned a profit to date. Most other telecoms are trying to recover from their 50 - 75% loss in stock value in the last five years. It seems like you think that all of these companies are turning "huge profits" and are ripe for squeezing from labor unions, but it ain't so.
