Worked great for Detroit!
Like rent control, unions often protect existing workers at the expense of everyone else.
And that protection can extend into retaining bad workers, punishing highly productive workers.
Not that all unions are a net negative but many are.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoWorkers need protection from everyone else; corporations and consumers would take everything if left unregulated. Like an expanding gas, you must build a box to constrain.

- refurb 3y agoThe very fact there are way more employers than unions? That makes it obvious.
