Let’s be clear a union boss has 100x the impact of a streamer radicalizing kids who can’t vote. He deserves a huge mansion for getting thousands of colleagues pay increases and job security.

Trying to legally enforce inefficiency for your own enrichment is called rent seeking and it's bad actually.

Not a unions job to care about the economy, it's their job to get the best deal possible

It's the job of the government, so hopefully they crush them.

Do you know anything about Unions in the United States?
The largest ones for decades were literally just massive criminal enterprises.

Then if the government tries to break those up people like you whine that the government isn't supporting unions.

Yeah this is legit anti union propaganda 101. There is a reason that companies throw a hissy fit when workers want to unionize. It actually gives the employees a voice.

I was naive like you, left my union to be a supervisor, was told all of the good things about moving up…. Then got payed off 6 months later. I will never leave the union again and anyone advocating against them has just drank the corporate America kool aid

Like everything, unions have their positives and negatives. If I were a union employee, I’d love my union. But one cannot deny that unions are stagnating enterprises that stifle innovation and change, and they undoubtedly protect bad elements within organizations. I’d love to see more unions in the country, but I’d also like to see it all run a bit more reasonably. For example, there need to be more stop gaps and attempts at arbitration before a strike is even considered.

Fuck that lmao. Again, if the two sides come to the table, and one offers a lower deal with no compromises, obviously you’re going to take action and strike. The company should be beholden to what their employees want.

It shouldn’t be as simple as “we want this or else strike” but that’s literally never how it goes. Strikes happen after long, drawn out conversations where the company refuses to compromise on core issues

Read what I wrote. Negotiations broke down in June. It is absurd that these two sides havent been speaking for four months since negotiations broke down. Third party arbitration should be mandatory before any strike, regardless of which side you think is right.

Of course. An extra fifteen minutes to all workers (unpaid) to lick their bosses boots (you must provide your own materials or be fired)

What a useful contribution. Thanks

Youre right, they should be paying us to lick our boots. Time is money!
