re: Union enrollment plummets for Wisconsin teachers under tough law

In a union, the best employee suffers and must take lower pay to comply with the collective bargaining agreement so that the worst employee can remain employment at way too high a rate. It is mirroriing communinism in that regard - from each according to his abilities and to each each according to his needs. In the absence of said union, the shitty, lazy employee would be fired, the good employees would be better compensated, all employees would have more incentive to work harder and earn more, and the company would be stronger and more competitive as a result. Regarding government employees and teachers, replace profits with efficiency and effectiveness.

You seem to be suggesting that the best employee is too stupid to know what is in their best interest. The thing is that the best worker is no more required to support the worst worker than the other way around. As capital likes to point out anytime there is a labor action if they don't like it they should go elsewhere....if the best employee doesn't like it they can go elsewhere....they aren't slaves and they aren't stupid...they are doing what they need to.
