Unions increase the negotiating power of those selling their labor. That’s not forcing the private sector to act like a charity, it’s just giving workers more leverage.
The thing I don’t understand about your argument is that you say that giving “monopolistic control over the negotiating power of a company's work force will be economically harmful”. But companies already have monopolistic (well, monopsonistic) control over their workforce. So why is this an acceptable status quo?
- tacitusarc 6y agoThe broad strokes claim that "companies" are monopsonistic is inaccurate... Some are, but it largely depends on location. I think do unions in right to work states are excellent, though.
