Workers produce useful stuff
- CamperBob2 7y agoCorrect, workers do. Unions don't. They are fundamentally parasitic, which isn't necessarily a value judgement.
- hannasanarion 7y agoUnions strengthen workers. A company that negotiated 1000 small contracts has the upper hand in each of them, if it is forced to negotiate 1 big contract, then they are on equal footing.
- close04 7y agoThe only way to have any negotiating power is to present yourself as a single, unified entity. A union. Single workers or small groups have no power against a corporation. Just like individuals have no power against a government. It's only when they come together that they can effect change. So fighting against unions is the same as fighting against people's right to associate since any group can have the same shortcomings unions do.
- koshnaranek 7y agoSo if only the people, the workers produce stuff, and the form of organization like the union is parasitic then the cooperation does not produce stuff as well.
- CamperBob2 7y agoOrganization is necessary for large-scale production. It's not necessary for employment at any scale.
