Unions are essentially a conspiracy to create labor monopolies and they deny individuals the ability to negotiate their own wages and benefits based on their perception of their own value. I don’t want to make the same wage as everyone else with the same years of experience because my skills might be better or worse than the guy with the same job title and same seniority yet somehow unions consider everyone equal in terms of value? Not every is equal. A teacher with ten years experience isn’t inherently more valuable than a teacher with two years experience. Yet if unions call the shots, the ten year teacher gets paid more just in the basis of that seniority — regardless of actual performance. I am perfectly capable of negotiating my own salary, I don’t need some collective to do it for me. Unions benefit he mediocre and harm the high performers. There is nothing democratic about forcing me to accept a contract I had no say in negotiating or being forced to join a union (or pay for it) as a condition of employment. I should have the right to not have to contribute to, or join a union. Unions are bastions of cronyism. Try to get a job as an electrician in Chicago without being in the union.. it won’t happen — I wouldn’t have the freedom to work unless I join a union. There is nothing democratic about that.
