In a regular employee-employer relations there is a big difference in negotiating power. Unions can mitigate that.

You remember a few years ago when the Valley was incredibly hot. Workers had a lot of negotiating power despite being non-unionized.
- ponector 3y agoSome workers had. Don't forget there are millions people on visa, in wait-list for green card. They always have been screwed.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 3y agoIndeed. If the government got out of the way and allowed them to work, things would be better.
- soco 3y agoAll Swedish comments here from both immigrants and locals shows them apparently enjoying the unions' work and the backpressure put on the companies. Which is the point of any agreement: I give you my work under my conditions, you pay me under your conditions, and both sides must meet somewhere in the middle. And lo it's even done without government involvement - we talk about negotiations between unions and the company. So although your intention was to be against the union, you're basically making their same point.
