The only people I know who are in a union hate the union.
It effectively only seems to keep people in jobs that are terrible employees and would otherwise be fired. I know the intention of a union is much more noble, but effectively this is the only outcome they have seen a union enable.
- ken 8y agoEveryone hates their government, but that's no reason to want to disband the government. It's a means of representation. Everyone will gripe that it doesn't represent them perfectly, which is true, but it's still better than not having representation at all. Every person I know in a union talks trash about their union like they talk trash about their family. The union will annoy them on a daily basis -- and then they'll remind you that it's all between friends, and everything is far better than back before they had representation.

It's not a reason to add another bureaucracy on top of the existing one we all hate either. I've been represented by a union and their representation was wholly disadvantageous to me to a significant monetary amount as a result of their 'screw the new guy' policies and priorities. To wit, things would have been far better for me without them.
