Do unions help to increase worker productivity?
Or are they a waste of space , are they really necessary , after all the money that is spent on a union membership could be spent on other things like food and electricity, and lastly what if the unionists decided to go to work themselves and have real jobs . Would this be better for the economy ?
Who puts unions in power , governments right ?
It’s all about the vote , looking at the bigger picture suggests that unions are there to make people feel they have a voice , just like governments and who puts unions in power governments . Who pays for government election campaigns . The unions . They are both in bed with one another
I’m in a union an I hate it. I have no choice in the matter either cause if I want out I have to sacrifice my job. Unions were great at one time. Now laws are in place wether it be OSHA or ANSI saftey requirments or overtime and safe working hour laws. These things needed to be put in place in order to ensure a stable working environment but after these essential basics where set up now they go after pensions and getting extra pay and other benefits that do not fit the long term feasibility for the company. without a company there are no workers. Unions now seem to protect those who slack off and those who do there job and do not need the protection still must pay for it or lose their job. Not only this when some true injustice does happen an employee must go through the union channels which can take much longer than getting an attorney and getting it done much quicker. Lastly unions have their roots leadership set up from the people in the labor pool (i.e. shop stewards, greviancemen and the like). when these people go up against laywers hired by the company trained in law and know how to get stuff done that is really a downfall for a Union member. If I had to fistfight another person and that person got to hire Mike Tyson and i could either fightmyself or ask someone like me not trained in fights and pay for that priviledge it is definately not fair. People need to realize that workers can now more than ever take care of themselves and do not have to pay a union in order to do an ineffective job.
Also people, workers put unions in power not government. also yes unions do make a lot of contributions to political campaigns. Unions and corporations can now put a larger amount in and the news only focused on the corporations. When in reality corporations statistically put 50.1% towards republicans and 49.9% towards Democrats where Unions put around 85% to Democrats and 15% to republicans. Yes corporations spend more about $1.8 billion compared to $600 million for Unions but still that is dramatic. I wonder why now all of the sudden my union dues are going up 40% next year?!?!?!?
You have been listening to too much anti-union rhetoric. Unions create workplace rules to ensure everyone is treated fairly, which prevents favoritism.
