Mr. Romney: Senator McCain is sure right on that point.

 

With regards to unions overall, there are some good ones and some not so good. The good ones are those that say how can we do a better and better job helping our members have better and better skills and making sure that the enterprises they work in are more and more productive?

 

Mr. Matthews: Can you name a few good unions?

 

Mr. Romney: Yes, like the Carpenters Union, for instance. Does a great job training their members and making them more effective and more efficient. And they get higher compensation as a result of it.

 

There are also bad unions. I'm probably not going to name specific bad unions, but there...

 

(LAUGHTER)

 

Mr. Romney: But there are bad unions as well, which go too far and who forget that in order for them to be successful the enterprise that they're involved with as to also be successful.

 

And, I mean, I remember my dad had a conversation long ago...

Mr. Matthews: OK. We have to go.

 

Mr. Romney: I was going to tell a story.

 

Mr. Matthews: These are 30 seconds. I'm sorry. I have to cut you off. I'm sorry.
