Sorry - I meant to focus on argument from workers point of view. Govt jobs, you can get basically a job for life if you are not a total idiot.
Not for everyone of course.
One model I've seen some pretty large success with is employee ownership of companies. They seem to tolerate the total disaster flake outs less than unions do. I've seen unions fight for the drunk guy who hit someone with a forklift. My exposure to employee ownership shows it is complicated and there can be problems, but for whatever reason stuff happens.
Collectives on the other hand didn't really work - too many opinions? I know berkeley's collectives all fell apart.
- bumby 6y agoAh, ok. Yes, from the workers point of view, I can't personally why one wouldn't want to be part of a union outside of paying dues. With the government job security, that always struck me as a reason to not need a union. Why pay dues if the largest benefit is already provided? (Of course there are other benefits, but I imagine job security is usually near the top)
