Well right now there are existing entities with too much power, unions provide a second (less) powerful entity to balance the unchecked power of corporate leaders.
It’s not about correcting a cosmic wrong, it’s about people wanting more power and using a tool to get it.
- PathOfEclipse 4y agoIt really is, though, about correcting cosmic wrongs, because it is the world view you must first hold to believe something "unjust" is occurring when someone voluntarily bargains to work long hours for lower pay to be able to work their dream job. The next step is to pass legislation or push for judicial or executive action to try to "correct" for the injustice. The U.S. already has several very counter-productive pro-union labor laws it has accumulated over the years, and, under democrat presidents like Obama and Biden, the NLRB rules heavily in favor of unions: https://cei.org/blog/biden-says-he-wants-to-be-the-most-pro-union-president-in-the-history-of-the-united-states/ https://cei.org/blog/biden-says-he-wants-to-be-the-most-pro-... https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/12/adversarial-labor-laws-volkswagen-tennesee/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/12/adversarial-labor-law... https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pick-for-labor-secretary-will-hurt-american-workers https://www.dailywire.com/news/bidens-pick-for-labor-secreta... "Biden has already publicly declared he supports changing federal policy so that “there is no Right to Work (laws) allowed anywhere in the country.” President-in-waiting Kamala Harris, likewise, was bitterly critical of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2018 decision in Janus v. AFSCME, which outlawed mandatory union membership and payment of dues and/or so-called “agency fees” for government employees." These laws and actions don't make the world more just. On the contrary, they just add new injustices on top of the old ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzYgiOC9cj4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzYgiOC9cj4
