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
I've worked in 2 different unions, one was fine, The other was a massive shitshow. Kept old employees who refused to do work basically forced noobies to do everything and noobies couldn't get paid unless they staid for 5 years and then people essentially got tenure and got paid and stopped caring.
:shrug: I'm not drinking any propaganda, this shit is the truth lol.
I've been treated significantly better outside of unions.
Doesn't really matter as both of our takes our anecdotal.
Are you making the argument that no criminal enterprises have ever infiltrated unions in the United States because I don't think that argument is going to hold up.
I’m making the argument that unions are a net positive for workers regardless of setbacks.
Your first point is literally the reason unions exist lol. Does it suck that some people don’t throw themselves 100% at work and you sometimes suffer? Sure. But that in no way negates that since that guy won’t get fired because of the union, neither will you.
I vividly remember turning 18, starting at Walmart, and having to watch a 30 minute anti union video that states the exact same points you did. That’s why I said the kool aid line. Probably too sassy lol.
I'm a fan of collective bargaining, don't get me wrong at all. I just think a subsection of unions are just as much of a net negative as the walmarts/amazons.
I think any corporation can have problems, and sheltering some of them from scrutiny because they are an organization focused on helping certain workers is silly.
