Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
WSJ had an editorial today on unions.
Fastest growing unions are in federal and state government.
Unions are declining in every other sector.
Overall unions are down to 11.4% of the population.
Do we really need the union protecting our federal government employees from being over worked?
I remember hearing/reading back in high school or college, or maybe I made it up, unions prevented America from transforming to a communist or heavy socialist slant. Gave the workers a voice and allowed a balance that prevented an uprising.
Unions served a purpose, they provided a voice for the working man. But, no longer needed. Laws have changed, automation has become more advanced ... just not needed.
We certainly don't need public sector unions ....

Here's the thing, if businesses like Walmart paid theirs employees better, stores would not yet to unionize (see Costco, but then again, I don't see why a store would need a union either).
In a scenario like Boeing, unions are great,, otherwise the workers would have little benefits.
Unions have their purpose and they are slowly dying off because the change in manufacturing in our country. But those that say all unions are terrible are just being dumb.
Who was in charge of Fordwerke when it used slave labor (it is now generally accepted that this occurred between 1941 and 1945)? By the time that slave labor was introduced, Fordwerke was clearly under the direct control of the Nazi government, though administered through the company headquarters in Cologne (albeit by Robert Schmidt). The meetings of the board of directors had already been suspended, and didn't resume until after the war. Although the American parent company desperately sought to retain control of their German assets, they failed to do so. Fordwerke became an instrument of the Nazi state. I certainly found no evidence that American management ever sanctioned the use of slave labor or that it even knew of the use of slave labor.

ADL is ran by Jews.
The bastard even looks like a fucking evil vampire. Look at his face:
Henry Ford, Nazi supporter, exploiter of slave labor. Case closed. End of discussion.
Ironic coming from a duck fan
I have never asked for one thing....I don't go to meetings...I dontt care about bargaining....our benefits are awesome so why rock the boat.
I put in paperwork in April for my job to be reclassified At the next round of negotiations (What I get paid is a joke...I look around and think WTF.) Anyways....I submitted the paperwork and was told "everything looks great."
Fast forward to last week and I haven't heard anything....they won't say they lost the paperwork but won't give me an answer about why they won't fight for me. They have never forgotten to take a half days pay every month For dues though. I was livid and am still not sorry about the emails I sent.
I get your employer doesn't value you as an employee and offers you shit benefits....that sucks. Well my union doesn't value me either and I pay them.
By the way, it's still your choice to work for a union or not. This is a free country.
It's funny the same people the day unions are terrible, we need free market, yet say they absolutely have to work for a union.
HTH
