I can certainly defend their existence during said time, because they were NEEDED.
Rotten capitalist pigs would let a worker have his arm sawed off, and they didn't care.
They'd get another cog in the mill take his place.
But there is literally NO place for unions now.
Workmans comp, OSHA, and all sorts of regulations have made these dinosaur unions obsolete.
And there is REALLY no place for "public sector" unions.
They work directly with democrat politicians to maximize their power and screw everyone else, particularly taxpayers along the way.
I couldn’t agree more on both private and public unions, they rip off employees.
I do believe employees should have the right to have a SMALL group that will represent them and their rights under the law for a SMALL monthly fee that’s used strictly for that with absolutely no political affiliations.
