But we have endless government bureaucracies at both the state and federal level that check that stuff.

Do we need redundancy?


Oh lord no. But why would we expect any better efficiency from government on this front?

If you've ever dealt with our management, you might rethink this. We had one employee who's boss was so vindictive, she didn't stop at trying to get her fired--she filed criminal assault charges claiming that the employee attacked her with a box of thumbtacks. (Surprisingly, no photo of said box of thumbtacks, either on the floor or embedded in said boss's skin, was ever taken.)

Higher management was, of course, backing the boss, not the employee.


Do you think there wouldn't be shitty insane bosses in an all union world? Grow up. There are insane people We have laws upon laws to protect employees and if they still feel unprotected they should go to another company.

I have dealt with both insane bosses and insane employees and never joined a union. I don't need a union to deal with my life.

The place in society for unions today, is to fund the Democratic Party. My cousin and two close friends were in a factory union and had to pay $20 every two weeks in dues for political donations to Dem's and they did not want to. They were Republicans that were Christian/Baptists, against abortions, etc, but had to pay. One sang in a church choir but had to pay dues supporting abortions.

When unions do their job they actually actively combat the rise in real wages! They do so by various means aimed at destroying the rise in the productivity of labor.

Unions need to die. They really have no place at all in modern society.


I think they serve the construction industry well where you have journeymen who move from job to job. It's past it's prime anywhere else though.
