? To someone in the EU, it sounds bizarre that they would NOT have a union.
- pessimizer 4y agoAmericans are taught to find them terribly unreasonable by default. This teaching used to be done with bullets and clubs.
- rexpop 4y agoHow's this lesson been taught since then?
- keybored 4y agoThis is an American board so we’re supposed to gasp in disbelief and/or be intrigued when someone says that a particular kind of union is not inherently evil.
- cogman10 4y agoUs Americans have been brainwashed against unions. We have TV shows portraying "the lazy union worker". We have an entire political party dedicated to talking about how unions raise costs, are corrupt, and have burdensome dues. Any shop in the US that starts talk about unions will hire union busting PR firms and shove anti-union propaganda and fear mongering down employee's throats. Americans hate unions because big business here has been effective at demonizing them.
