Unions are shite. They're the reason for poor productivity and democratic campaign money

Who here thinks unions are good
Not a union member/not police, but
After the events and the reaction over the summer, I'm glad the police have a union that supports them.
Cause pretty much every mayor threw them under the bus.

I like the idea of unions. I think workers need a way to stand up to big corporations (although laws over time have made it a more equal playing field) but unions right now aren’t really helping the best interests of the workers.

Unions helped create a bunch of important occupational safety improvements. That remains true today.
Beyond that... they aren't very good at all.

When you consider unions make up very little of the overall job force it’s a dying ideology that the liberals don’t want to die.

Biden clearly states that he intended to grow union jobs? It's like he's living in 1962.

Biden and the dnc can’t say the word job they can only say union job. What’s wrong with a job.

Why are these discussions always about unions that represent workers and never business unions against workers?
What about LABI and LOGA who are the biggest, most well funded and powerful business unions that control Louisiana and the Rs in Louisiana? How do you feel about them?

Unions suck. China is worse.

I work in a union environment, in a management capacity, and deal/fight with them daily. With that said, I love the union. If it wasn't for them, chances are, I wouldn't have the benefits I do. As a salaried person I'm paid time and half for overtime, double time for Sundays, and triple time for holidays. I also have 17 paid holidays that I usually work since I'm in maintenance. When I was hired, I had 21 paid holidays but lost 4 in the last contract. Again, I love the union even though ours is a pain in my arse.

Love unions, except for police unions.

That is a pretty big deal though

Unions are a good thing but you need to know the whole picture to see it.

Unions are terrible. Once upon a time, they were vital for worker protections. Now they just launder worker money into their own pockets and the pockets of the DNC, and the Workers they fleece have no say in the matter.

With OSHA safety standards, Federal labor laws, minimum wage laws and other governmental mandated protections there is absolutely no reason for unions to exist in the present day. None.
It is a way for the union elites to fleece their fellow workers as well as the Democratic Party to shake down the working class of which they purport to be such stalwart defenders.

heard something like 3k of the price of an American car is solely to cover union associated costs
It’s been years since I left GM but in 2003 ish, that number was 10k per vehicle went to just retiree benifits.
