Altruism makes unions work. From a purely utilitarian perspective, being a freeloader is almost always a better choice. You get most of the benefits of the union without having to pay for it.
Altruism is about the concern for the welfare and happiness of others. It's particularly important in organizations that fight, both figuratively and literally. An army that runs out of altruism collapses, because people generally don't want to die for no reason.
- woooooo 3y agoSolidarity is important. Charity isn't. We're all working, it's not charity to be treated right. Look at that dumbass alphabet worker's union for example. They offered nothing to workers for joining, all their goals were social justice culture war stuff. How are they doing? If they called for a strike, would anyone notice?
