I’m not sure we can legally force people to join unions.
You can legally force people to do anything. That's how government works. But that's besides the point. Unionization is better for both members of the union and non-members since it raises the floor
Unions are useful for a lot of fields, but once you get into fields that are highly specialized they only get in the way.
When a company relies on a small team of difficult to replace experts for the majority of their revenue, they either treat their employees well or they go out of business. A union in that situation serves no purpose.
Back when I was younger and worked regular jobs, I would have loved to join a union. Now? No way. A union would decrease my bargaining power.
Right to work states are generally at the bottom of most statistics
Oh come on, we're top of the list for diabetes, cancer, liver disease, illiteracy, excess deaths, shootings, percentage of citizens who will never hold a college degree, and cheapest labour. USA, USA!
You're looking at the list upside down.
I've always said if you don't like the union you've got the right to work, somewhere the fuck else.
Thanks to k jazz FM for the important report
Excuse me, but you did not pronounce that correctly.
why does that initiative “only” need 383k signatures when the abortion initiative needs 600k? i’m assuming they don’t already have 220k signatures to explain the offset
Man what a shit article. No links, no details, no preamble
I'm confused. ELI5, is this good or bad?
Unions good. Right to work states bad. Right to work states steal from you and you earn less overall than organizing with others for fair pay and benefits.
Unions should be mandatory for all career fields.
