Unions = communism. They destroy industries by pushing wages above market prices. Unions ought to be banned.

Yea right, that is why there are so many unions in Communist countries. I don't want to sound harsh but yours is the most unthinking post I've seen in a long, long time.

To the contrary, Communist countries do NOT have the freedom of association. In the U.S., you are free to meet with people, to organize and seek redress.

Where did you go to school? This is basic civics class material. My apology if you are a millennial as I understand they did not teach you the U.S. constitution when you were in school.

I do recommend the U.S. Constitution as very good reading. They might have it as an app for your phone which should make it easier for you.

Exactly right. Unions today unfortunately associated themselves with communism. But the principles of unionism are very American. The freedom of association and the capitalization of labor is what’s at stake.

The union movement in the United States was founded almost entirely by communists. Look it up. The plan was for the unions to organize a “proletariat revolution.” They failed, but that has always been the goal of union leaders. Even now, many union leaders are openly members of the Democrat Socialists of America, a hardcore communist organization!

Capitalism is based on the idea that the free market should decide the price of things, including labor. If you support unions, you support a key linchpin of the socialist agenda. Plain and simple.
