Exactly how would a union help?
- pm90 7mo agoIt would force a company to come to the negotiating table when laying off workers and grading their performance. It would prevent a lot of bs layoffs; at the very least concrete reasons would be needed for RIFs.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoI grew up in small town South GA that growing up has 5 or 6 factories. All but one left when they got tired of dealing with the unions. The one that is still there was never unionized
- righthand 7mo agoThat’s propaganda. Businesses don't close because they’re “tired of dealing with the unions”.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoThe business didn’t close a they moved to cheaper labor
- compiler-guy 7mo agoNitpick the wording all you like, but “businesses avoid unionized workforces as best they can” isn’t propaganda.
- righthand 7mo agoSure it is, show me one business that actually closed from union costs and I’ll show you a million unionized businesses that have never closed for that same reason. Cherry picking a few businesses and then saying all businesses are doomed because of unions is exactly propaganda.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoNo one said businesses “closed”. I said they “moved”.
- righthand 7mo agoSo other businesses moved for cheaper labor elsewhere but one stayed open is proof that the cost of living in GA went up not that unions cause businesses to move. The greed of the business owner is what caused them to move.
