re: Unions are outdated. It is 2023 not 1923

Thomas Jefferson warned about "monied corporations" controlling America. Unions are a necessary evil to combat this. There are strength in numbers (whether it be a group of workers or a few corporations that basically have a monopoly on a certain industry), and that is the whole idea.

Might be the whole idea but Unions have overstepped their bounds. They no longer make sure the average employee is treated fairly. They make sure the worst employee can't get fired for literally sleeping on the job. They make sure the good employee doesn't get a raise because that would be unfair to the worst employee.

In some rare instances, unions might actually help like the writers and actors strike. But by and large, they do nothing but make the work place worse for people actually trying to do their jobs.
