It's interesting to see the negativity towards the strikers in this topic. Why shouldn't workers be allowed to get together and act as a collective? What's so frightening about the workers having more power?
- prodigal_erik 13y agoMarkets set efficient prices through competition. When I have just one vendor to buy from and have to pay whatever they demand or go without, it's recognized as an abusive monopoly and market failure. Why is it suddenly okay for a bunch of vendors (of labor) to openly form a cartel, declare all competing vendors off limits through intimidation and violence, and extort whatever they can? Why don't unions have to compete for contracts and thereby set sane terms?
