If you think that, then you missed MY point...which was to SUPPORT your point, and add to it. I don't like unions in the private or public sector, but if they can compete in the private market, so be it. In the public sector, however, they are immoral and unsustainable. I also think laws forcing unionized private firms are about as immoral as public unions. I've written widely on unions for over a decade.Often the national office of RTW will link to my work. I think I get it.
I am strongly against public unions. As far as private-sector unions, their usefulness has come and gone. They were instrumental in getting a 40 hour work week, pensions, etc. However, they also are responsible for many businesses closing as management would not succumb to their demands. The unions were also responsible for eliminating child labor. I merely was stating that there is a distinction between public and private - not that I agree with them. Having said that, I know of many instances where a private untion has saved a worker’s job from unfair labor practices and unjust termination. What I hate about public sector is that these people can’t be fired - no matter how incompetent and corrupt they are. And, believe me, many of them fit that category. Instead, if they are found to be corrupt or charged with a crime, they get administrative leave with full pay. This doesn’t happen in the private sector, and it is wrong.
I had to reread what you wrote. I wasn’t necessarily referencing you with my comments about LIV - just making a point that many aren’t aware of the difference between public and private unions - and they aren’t.
