So, are we better off without them on median? If not, then apparently they were superior to current situation, no matter their flaws.
If you are proposing a superior solution, you are supposed to show it is superior.
If it is neutral, you should also show it actually is neutral and not inferior.
I'd say that unions provide a controllable and governance alternative to employer wild west. If they are corrupt and crony, this is seen and can be fixed. Markets are not as easily controllable, even with laws.
- umvi 8y agoIt's hard to say if we are better off with out them. I wasn't alive during the first half of the 20th century, but my grandpa was and he is vehemently against unions, having worked in them for 20+ years. I am cautiously optimistic that unions can be a net good, but I'm also worried there aren't enough checks to balance them.
