I think the right to organize in labor unions is fundamental. But it's a decision for each country to make for itself, not be imposed by us. It wasn't until the 1930's that labor rights became established in the U.S., after a century of industrialization.

We're in complete agreement.

But it should also be the right of any company not to have to use the unions as well, and that is not the case. In other words, if the workers want to form a union, the company should have the right to fire all of them on the spot and hire new non-union workers.

The 1930's is right when this country went left and implimented a lot of the popular liberal Marxist ideas, including unions, social security, etc.
