You must be a American. Only a American would take it straight up the ass and think it's a good thing. The fact is the American worker works harder and longer hours than the western world. Also the U.S. out produces any country for less money. So the answer is to work more fucking hours? Unions build this Country and made it great. Only 7% of the US belong to Unions. What I'm taking about is your freedom and how fast it can be taken away.
Freedom.....what's free about a Union? Are dues free? Will they allow you to work peacefully without being part of one? Is THAT free?
I've got the Freedom of CHOICE, I can choose to take a job or choose not to, I don't have to ask permission if I choose to work longer hours.
Unions had their time in the spotlight and now they are bloated and all they do is keep alcoholics from getting fired.

Unions protect the rights of workers from being exploited by bosses who make unnecessary cuts to get bonus payments.

My best friend is a Union Delegate.
He earns $175,000 per year for doing ......... NOTHING
Plus all the supplies he can steal out of the Union Hall storage closets.
Pure Filth

My lord, do you lefties think EVERY boss is Ebenezer Scrooge???
"I'm a eeeeevil boss, I want to fuck over the people who help me run MY FUCKING BUSINESS!!!!"
....I'm a boss, I'm not a fucking dictator, fuck sakes. I want my workers happy as they work better when they are happy, and their families are happy, and my business grows because the feeling it leaves people with is happiness, and safety, and trust....and if they don't feel that way I don't make as much money, ergo I don't need a fucking union.
Look what great deeds Unions have done for Detroit, Youngstown, et al....yeah those places look REAL fun and happy :-\

I'm Canadian.
The fact is, for every story of a greedy company fucking it's employees, there's a story about an overreaching union protecting shitty/lazy/corrosive employees. ESPECIALLY in government jobs.

5....so not enough to warrant unionizing, besides, I pay them well and have continuously honored their loyalty to me....more than any thug Union boss would do.

Unions did not destroy Detroit.
What is the problem helping an worker who may have alcohol issues if he is an asset to the company when he is sober?

Yes they did. http://www.forbes.com/sites/kylesmit...thing-is-left/
Do you want a drunk person assembling your car? Do you want a drunk person driving freight down the highway? Do you want your coworker to make a mistake which could cost you a limb to keep their job just because they belong to a union? I'm sorry, I believe in PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

Obviously he needs to be suspended and allowed to recover and given an opportunity to make amens especially if the worker is skilled, loyal and an asset to the company.

Workers who are "assets to the company" don't need Unions to help them keep their jobs.

If they feel a union will help them, then why deny them the opportunity to join one.

Because they'd FORCE others to join....and yes emphasis on FORCE as in coerce, against the will of the other individual.

True dat.
I worked at a grocery store when I was younger and there was a senior employee who got caught stealing food from the back - apparently she'd been doing it for awhile. They fired her, but she was tight with the union and got her job back. Imagine, this company didn't have the power to get rid of an employee who was caught STEALING! There was another incident where a grocery clerk got into it with a customer and told him to "fuck off", got fired but the union got him his job back!
Not that management are great... I think the moral of the story is that people will look out for their own self interest and take liberties no matter what side of the coin they are on. Unions pull bullshit just like management.
Re: Would you support 7 day work weeks?
@Master there are loads of examples of Unions keeping people from trying to DO WORK....work that would help people, maybe even save lives.
After Hurricane Sandy many construction and electrical companies from the Southeastern US went up to NY and NJ to try and repair the damage.....only problem is, the workers from down South weren't Unionized and therefore their help wasn't wanted and they were told to leave.
I detest Unions and would never be a part of one.
