Thanks a lot, unions

[Strike For The South]

If people just treated each other fairly there'd be no need to unionize. The only time people ask for some outragoues benifts is when some populist demagouge tells them they deserve it. If employeers paid a fair salary and worked with there employees unions wouldnt exist. Trust me it can be done with big compaines I work for one that doesnt have a single unionzed guy in it and everyone thinks they have the best job for there skill set.

Good for you. Doesn't work out that way most of the time though, which is why the unions came into being. In spite of being for a while illegal and all, and in some places having to deal with honest-to-God hitmen the irate employer side sent (elements of the Spanish Left learned to be pretty good at urban combat this way; this was of some use in the Civil War).

But since the choice was ultimately between labor unionization and labor militancy most governements figured out the better bet eventually and brought the more recalcitrant among the employer side to heel.

I agree. In Canada, if your business unionizes, then you have failed as a manager.

Management typically gets the union they deserve. In most cases, if they had paid a bit more attention to the well-being and happiness of their employees, there would be no union.
