When unions negotiate wage increases they are also negotiating for increases in union dues. Many unions write in automatic increases that are pegged to the workers wage increase. A 3% wage increase will automatically raise dues by 1.5%. It’s all one big money making racket that makes money off the back of taxpayers.
It’s interesting that the very concept of unions “negotiating” higher wages and more benefits is a form of extortion. The fundamental threat of unions is that they will destroy the corporation or business with a walk-out if said business does not comply with their demands. How is this behavior any different than common thuggery??
I never could understand how this could be legal.
