>Unions are a layer of bureaucracy, red tape and an entity that cares more about the Union than anything else.
These descriptors cover most human organizations. Churches, clubs, businesses.

- wernercd 7y agoThe difference is whether you willingly join or not. You choose to go to church, clubs or spend money at businesses. If you're part of a union... chances are you don't have a choice. The difference is that with the "churches, clubs, businesses" - when they do wrong... people go elsewhere (IE: Ask the Catholic Church). With Unions? You're forced to stay with the Union if you want to keep the job. IF the union is "mandatory" or the Church is - I think both of those situations are wrong. If a union is truly worth the fee... it shouldn't be a the end of a gun (Government/Corporate/etc mandate, forced fees, etc).
- bgilroy26 7y agoA union is different from a church, club, or being a consumer some place because it is at your job and is part of how you generate income. Non-union employees get the same pay raises union employees do, a rational actor in a non-compulsory union shop would not join the union because they don't want to pay dues. That is why joining a union is compulsory.
