Poll after poll show millennials and younger favor unions to “protect” them against their employer.
I hate unions and feel they have far surpassed their true usefulness of competitive wages and safe working conditions. However, growing up with a dad that was in the corporate world and seeing how at every poor quarter or 2 in a row, the company would absolutely slash frontline personnel while CEO’s and c suite executives made millions in bonuses and stock awards because they “cut cost” for the quarter, and now that I’m living in the corporate world and am seeing how middle to upper management are not about people, achieve, technology, or even a job well done but rather about nothing but money, I could see how many younger people would want the protections of unions.

We should be encouraging more mom and pop style small business around blue collar work. This is how you avoid talk of unionization as well as corporate machines. Make it easier for people to start business.

You should not talk like this. After all the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people. Thank the GOP and Conservatives for taking that issue to the Supreme Court and be happy they can now buy up federal elections.

I became a slight fan of unions when they began to tell the executives to frick off with the forced Covid shots.

I think pretty much everyone can agree on that. They problem is we don't enforce antitrust laws and have allowed extreme consolidation in nearly every industry. But with the Citizens United ruling, monopolies are a bigger problem than at any point in our country's history. Because now corporate money is considered free speech. Which has led to the corporate oligarchy you see today.
