NO! I've got 40+ years in Information Technology, worked hard my entire career, kept learning and moving up the ladder. I'm more than capable of negotiating my own contracts, salary, etc..

NO to "Unions" -- they're COMMUNIST.

I’m fortunate to be a decent union position. I also have to be to do my job. Most of the other office workers in different jobs organized 5-6 years ago because the company was putting screws to everyone and not paying decent wages.
If a company is fair and pays competitive wages, generally workers aren’t interested in unions.

Don’t care as long as they’re not public unions where the taxpayers are NOT represented in the collective bargaining.

And when these soft-trade private companies unionize, there will be plenty of hurt.

Joining a labor union is like volunteering to take military orders from Kamala Harris or from Hillary Clinton.

Outside of government, fewer and fewer employees choose to join a union.

You are free to join one if you wish.

it all depends on the type of union.

and I suppose the country it is in. I have heard ok things about unions in germany.

I have seen good and bad unions in the united states, yes mostly bad and corrupt.

I suspect the founding fathers would agree that government unions need refreshing at some point

Unions systematically destroy industries, and so are constantly looking for new profitable fields to exploit.

Why Drafting is not considered a skilled trade, I have no idea. Some may belong to the UAW but not all, especially if you're a contract employee.

Money is one thing. Forced full time return to office is another. Money will make workers put up with a lot of crap, but everyone has their breaking point.

It's not so much about the idea of organized labor, as it is about the ideological baggage and monopolism of the AFL-CIO.

It really is inseparable from the Democrat party line.
