WHEN unions prevent people from working BY FORCE they are immoral. When governments prevent people from free assembly or free exercise of the other rights granted to them by God, they are immoral. What is it about unions that makes them worse than government? I wouldn't support pro-labor laws, but pro-management laws are far more pervasive today.
You and I generally agree, but I don't see unions as evil simply because I see corporate invasion of privacy as every bit as evil as government--just because a government's Nazi-in-the-making instead of Commie-in-the-making doesn't make it less evil.

What is it about unions that makes them worse than government?Nothing. I have explained that already. Many jump to conclusions. Anyone who violates rights is immoral. Government does it even more than unions. Or even private thugs like thieves and gangs, mafia, etc.
All guilty. Two wrongs don't make a right. And the fact that others are wrong doesn't excuse anyone.
Many union people think what they do is ok even as they condemn others for the same things. It's preposterous.
