It’s important for you younger folks to know that the Reuther brothers of UAW fame actually went to Russia in the 1930s and worked in auto factories there to study the communist system.
a quote:
At the end of the trip he wrote, “the atmosphere of freedom and security, shop meetings with their proletarian industrial democracy; all these things make an inspiring contrast to what we know as Ford wage slaves in Detroit. What we have experienced here has reeducated us along new and more practical lines.”
I have seen the union scourge and listened to their justifications my whole life, and I don’t buy any of it.
I always enjoyed watching the union workers wearing their jackets around town, the coats had the huge logos on both front and back, but no where on that coat was the name of the company that signed their paychecks and put food in their families bellies.
Once someone puts the union above the employer in the food chain of importance then you might as well write him off for the rest of his employment, he is a worthless leach then.
