People that can unionize and vote against it certainly are dumb. Unions do a lot of shady shite, but one thing the almost always do is make life better for its members. Better wages, better benefits, legal protection, etc.

In a plant that already has some of the highest wages in the state, working indoors in air conditioning, with a 401(k), health insurance, vacation, etc.

What the hell is the union going to do other than take dues money?

Amusing to me how people still believe that nonsense.


Better wages does not always equal better take-home.


If your assertion were actually true, then unions would be flourishing.

What legal protection do they provide that isn't already provided for by the state of Mississippi and the United States government?

The only thing the union wants is $$$$ Social Media and the internet should have already put unions under.

In 1907 I would have agreed with you. In 2017, no.

Only if you're a low achiever. If you have initiative, unions suck the life out of your job and block advancement
