It goes without saying that I DISLIKE unions. They held their place in history, provided a good service to the people thy represented, now they are a counter productive entity ruining our country.
I grew up in a Union household, I know what I'm talking about. Unions now, 2011, are much different than they were in the 1930's and 1940's. the biggest issue in the 30's and 40's was workers safety. Now we have a Government agency named OSHA to protect ALL workers, not just Union members. Another big issue back then was people and CHILDREN working too many hours, today we have the Dept.of Labor and Industry to police these problems.
The only real purpose a Union serves today is, if you agree to work in a Union shop, (usually you don't have a choice,) they take a portion of your paycheck, and they pay lobbyist to payoff politician's to push for items you may not even want.
Now, on your upside and the Nation's downside, they do fight to get you the biggest paycheck possible. They also try to get you the worlds best benefit's and something not heard of in the real world, JO
B SECURITY. I worked in the real world for over thirty years. Want a raise?, Boss won't give you one, get another job. Want job security?, if your job looks like it is in danger, find another one. GET THE PICTURE !
Unions are what destroyed the Automotive Industry, Steel Industry, Clothing Industry, you name it. If a job or industry went over seas, Unions were probably the reason. With un-heard of labor rates, benefit's packages etc. The Unions killed the job markets in this country.
Now, they are strong-arming small business into supporting the unions whether the small business is pro-union or not ! ! ! if the business doesn't do it, the Union will boycott them. That could kill a small business.
Unions are nothing more than legal Mobs. The U.S. Government should be looking into their seedy practices, and start taking them apart, piece by piece.
Unions aren't helping anybody, they are just hurting everybody !
Yours in Liberty !
