Ok, you can argue that police have benefits in their work from unions similar to other public sector unions. I was being a bit snarky since police would be the people to carry out violent action against union activity. Police serve the interests of the capitalist class who own the corporations, so that was all i was saying. But i think their union is harmful, too.
As far as teachers unions, that is an argument that a lot of people would disagree with but i've decided i don't want to discuss it in detail here.
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoI really don't think the world is black and white, but the more I learned about the teachers' unions in the US, I came to realize it actually comes down to one thing: Do you value the teachers or the students more? It has become so hostile, the dichotomy really is that stark. All attempts to negotiate with the teachers' union, even offering them substantial bonuses to fire teachers well known for terrible performance, have been met with "fuck you" by the union. You're right, not everybody will agree. Some people will side with the teachers. I think those people are ruining future generations.
