Where does that belief system come from? Family tradition? A sense of victimhood?

Solidarity. Class consciousness.

Id say both...

To add on those points, the view that the company is the "bad guy". However, if you look at the amount of money the unions actually make, they are as bad if not worse than the companies that the people work from.

Union organizers are fricking thieves or suck off of the people they claim to be helping.

Laziness. They want the same compensation as hard workers without actually doing the hard work.

I can see it to some degree--in theory it's about better protections for workers

Doesn't necessarily work that way in practice though.

They have a bigger voice can earn more money as a group than by themselves. Pretty easy to understand the mindset.

i get into this with my mom (she's pro union) a bit. i don't want to be stuck in a bureaucratic system where my age leads to my promotion, where i'm stuck behind inferior, lazier, and ineffective workers. i want my own merit to allow me to advance

union psychology is typically wrapped around the idea of security. those who oppose unions typically have a belief system more aligned with stephan molyneaux, who says, "a safety net is a noose".

It would really help if yall would educate yourselves the history of the labor movement and how and why unions came to be. It wasn't all that long ago when workers had essentially zero protections.

Where does that belied system come from


the constitution, which says people have the right to peaceably assemble.

There is strength in numbers, and they have more bargaining power collectively, duh

Why do you hate freedom?

The FIRST Executive Order our next Republican President in January 2017 should issue is an EO summarily reversing every EO issued by Odumbf*ck.

The SECOND EO our next Republican President should issue would state that Unions are not allowed to donate any money, time, or resources in any way, shape, manner, or form to any political candidate or political cause without the 100% approval by closed vote of every member of such union.

You will see these intellectual bankrupt scumbags crying like a bunch of pussies extolling the virtues of Citizens United and claiming that these union's First Amendment rights have been violated because they'll claim unions are people under the First Amendment. Our own Lil' Rexy will be crying the loudest.

I can't relate to the mindset that is incapable of understanding and accepting that their own narrow view of the world is not the only one.

Some unions still serve a purpose, most are an outdated, worn ideal that no longer worksr

Construction trades or anywhere you have journeyman performing skilled labor are one area where union membership still works.

Can't relate to someone wanting good work conditions and compensation?

Really?
