Why can’t we just get rid of unions?

I mean, now would be the time, with so many people out of work.

Just say, hey, we’re not going to deal with the union any more. Nobody would even need to lose their job.

If folks want to form some kind of “union” and pool their money for a pension fund, or whatever, that’s fine too.

But, no bargaining with the “union” by the employer. Anyone who goes on “strike” is fired and replaced by the next willing worker.

Ok, with some jobs this might be harder than others, but almost all gov’t jobs could be immediately replaced.

The Public School teachers are the biggest bunch of losers going, they could all be replaced within one school year.

And as for the SEIU, they mostly represent basically unskilled workers, like hotel maids and restaurant workers, they could be destroyed in about 6 weeks.

I say JUST DO IT!

Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison – which has 1.4 million members employed by the state – described plans for waves of strike action, with public services shut down on a daily basis,

OK, I don't know a thing about this fellow Prentis. But I'm willing to wager a month's pay that he's just the type of person who destroys countries. Can't this imbecile understand the economic situation that the UK is in presently. There are many who are unemployed and many others who haven't received a raise in a number of years. These folks in the Unions are overpaid already for the most part. Unions destroy everything they touch. And if anyone ever doubted the stupidity of public service labor unions they ought not now.
