if American unions were not so bad they would have more support random thoughts Send a noteboard - 18/02/2014 02:27:52 AM

I worked in a union shop and I did not enjoy it. Rules before common sense and senority before everything else. They created sensless busy work to protect jobs and ended with our shop shutdown because it was so much cheaper to outsource. In theory I support the idea of unions. I dont support public sector unions atleast not ones active in politics but if America could reinvent its unions I might change my opinions worker councils might be a start.

I dunno, I was kind of curious how the first American "works council" would work out. Legolas - 17/02/2014 06:57:15 PM 583 Views

Funny, that's pretty much how a lot of people here feel about unions too. Legolas - 18/02/2014 08:35:54 PM 580 Views
So out of curiosity, you are totally against all unions? *NM* beetnemesis - 18/02/2014 02:39:45 AM 233 Views
Can't say I am against "ALL", but I can't think of any I would support..... Anonymous2000 - 18/02/2014 04:47:39 AM 525 Views
How do you think things like benefits, salary, working conditions, etc. should be negotiated, then? *NM* beetnemesis - 18/02/2014 06:44:04 PM 225 Views
omost workers in the US don't belong to unions random thoughts - 18/02/2014 08:13:19 PM 546 Views
So your argument is basically "let market forces do their work?" beetnemesis - 19/02/2014 02:43:09 AM 578 Views
sorry but I did not make an argument I answered your question random thoughts - 19/02/2014 04:21:04 AM 552 Views
Agreed. public sector unions should be outlawed.....even FDR was against them. Anonymous2000 - 19/02/2014 01:03:56 PM 570 Views
But your original post was about an Auto Workers union, right? beetnemesis - 19/02/2014 02:10:54 PM 544 Views
