Yeah actually a union can help with all of those things.
That's why police are unionized, as well as most team sport elite athletes (players unions). And they like the power it gives them, which is why you never hear them talk badly about it.
- zaphar 3y agoWhile I personally think Police are necessary in a well functioning society, I will argue that Police unions are a large contributing factor behind the poor reputation Police have gotten lately. They have blocked much needed reforms, protected bad eggs, and are an argument for how a Union can force it's participants to support things they find morally repugnant.

- scottiebarnes 3y agoYou don't think unions negotiate work terms such as wages, working hours, conditions, etc.? What are some of the reasons you think a labor union would form in the first place? Have you ever heard of mandatory break requirements in certain industries? Think those ideas came from business owners? "The National Labor Union was founded on August 20, 1866, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the first attempt to create a national labor group in the United States and one of their first actions was the first national call for Congress to mandate an 8-hour work day." https://guides.loc.gov/this-month-in-business-history/august/national-labor-union-8-hour-work-day https://guides.loc.gov/this-month-in-business-history/august...
