Yes. I dislike the idea of unions with all my heart. I don't understand why a competent person needs to be a member of a union.

- Kim_Bruning 3y agoIt's a bargaining power thing. A group of individuals (like a company) has more bargaining power than an single individual. You can balance this out by eg. forming a second group of individuals who also collectively have more bargaining power (a union). Now don't try to tell me that bargaining power isn't a thing. With more bargaining power you can often get better deals! Note that Unions work very differently across different parts of the world. So your local union might be very different from ones that I've experienced.
- ExoticPearTree 3y ago> Note that Unions work very differently across different parts of the world. So your local union might be very different from ones that I've experienced. You are right on this one. My experience with unions is that they want people to have a job even if that job is more efficiently done by a machine or to get salary increases even if the company is doing poorly because of outside market factors (like not enough sales due to poor economy and so on). And while the goal might be ideal, the reality is quite different.
