Unions should be illegal. Period. No group of workers should be able to basically blackmail a corporation. Wages should be 100% determined by a global free market for labor.
I’ve said this before: Americans are spoiled. They expect their employers to pay them enough to buy a home and a car. That didn’t used to be the case. Ideally, your 40-hour job is just one of several income streams. Our great-great-grandparents took in laundry, peddled goods in carts and did odd jobs —ALL ON THEIR OWN TIME — to make ends meet. They didn’t expect everything to come from their employers.
Our forebears also lived in tenaments, or whatever they could pay for. They didn’t expect a house. And they didn’t complain.
This is why ALL manufacturerers should leave the country and not look back. NOBODY deserves $40 and benefits for doing factory work! And kids flipping burgers don’t deserve $15.
Also, people KNOW that the government won’t let them starve. So that alone kills 80% of their will to work. We need to return to the old ways. People now have too much money and time. It makes them feel entitled.
