What's the difference between 'monopolization of workforce' by a union, vs by a corporation? A union should be democratic, but if the workforce is split into many smaller unions it loses negotiating power.
- cperciva 7y agoThere wouldn't be a difference, but that's not the case here. Workers in the auto sector have several different employers to choose from. In terms of equalizing bargaining power, unions make sense in a few narrow contexts -- say, single-employer mining towns -- but far less in cities where workers have many options open to them.
- excursionist 7y ago'Choosing' a union or whether to be part of one is not any harder than 'choosing' an employer.
- pytester 7y agoIn terms of equalizing bargaining power, not having unions maybe makes sense if there 3,000 highly competitive companies in the auto sector instead of only three.
