No you see only capital is allowed to bargain with the government, labor is not allowed to for "reasons" that somehow always seem to benefit capital at their expense.
- whimsicalism 2y agoworkers are allowed to bargain against the government, as in “i will not take the job at the pay you are offering.” both private companies and workers should not be allowed to band together to deny the government all contracts until they get the one they want.
- bumby 2y agoYour stance seems to be at odds with the freedom of association protected by the US Constitution.
- azemetre 2y agoIt's way easier to understand when they just want to attack labor and absolve capital, it really is that simple for 99% of the discourse you read online.
- whimsicalism 2y agoThe protections offered to unions goes far beyond standard freedom of association. Generally I think that is okay, but not in the case of public unions.

- bumby 2y agoI think you may be misunderstanding. The right to join a union is the right to association. Right to association is not something provided by a union. In other words, you have a right to collectively bargain for certain working conditions and that is guaranteed by the 1st amendment.
- LunaSea 2y ago> workers are allowed to bargain against the government, as in “i will not take the job at the pay you are offering.” In the same way that someone is allowed to not breath underwater. A lot of people don't have the luxury of choosing.
