Fact: There is no difference, on average, between compensation in unionized companies and union-free companies of the same size in the same industries.
Fact: The union bosses must create bad feeling and emnity between workers and management, so they can "stick up" for the workers. Otherwise, the workers would come to feel that the union had no purpose.
Fact: A unionized company cannot survive in competition with union-free companies. The union creates more costs (but not more compensation for the employees). The only time unionized companies prospered was when the whole industry had the same union, such as the UAW and the Big 3 thirty years ago.
Fact: It is almost impossible to find a growing and successful unionized company.
Fact: Workers in most states are coerced into joining unions. They are not allowed to quit the union. The contract between the union and the company (workers, oppressed by the union, are not a party to the contract) states that the company will extract the union's dues without asking permission, and forward them to the union.
The whole union system is rotten, anti-democratic, and anti-American. We need a national Right-to-Work law so that employees can decide for themselves whether or not to be "represented" by a union. The reason the unions oppose such an obvious freedom is that the result would be a lot less than 12% of the work force in unions, and the union boss fat cats would have to get by on less income.
Hell, there are probably a lot fewer VOLUNTARY union members than there are voluntary NRA members.
The above applies only to the private sector. Unions there will soon be extinct. A real threat to America is the public sector unions, where lazy featherbedders retire at 80% pay after 20 years, thumbing their nose at taxpayers who actually work for a living.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
