For sure, I believe people should unionize if they want to, but should be given no special benefits for doing so.
Argentina has constitutional level protections for unions, they cant be jailed, etc. They own soccer clubs, and threaten politicians families and cant be incarcerated, while also having highest and increasing poverty and lower employment.
- s73v3r_ 8y ago"For sure, I believe people should unionize if they want to, but should be given no special benefits for doing so." Why is it fair for the company to be given special benefits for incorporating, but not for labor?
- conanbatt 8y agoThe equivalent legal protection of a union for a company would be monopoly licenses, and mandatory consumption of services and goods of a specific company. They are not comparable sets of protections. Plus, unions can also incorporate, but the legal protections asked by unions are not of legal organization, but of protection from other workers or coercion to employers.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoWrong. Incorporated companies get a number of tax breaks, a lot benefits that allow them to act as one, just like a union. Again, asking for unions to not have their protections is equivalent to saying that you don't want labor to have any protections.
