Unions

So pretty much I think unions are pieces of shit. What with all the screwing companies over, having their members pay dues at the end of each month, making demands to the company that a similar company without a union would not have to meet, etc etc.

With minimum wage increases, unions instantly jumped all over that and demanded the same amount in the form of a raise for their employees.

Can anyone offer anything positive about a union, other than the "protecting employees from the evil bad guy who is going to lock them in a building with poor escape plans so when something catches on fire hundreds of employees die, companies"?

Capitalism. If you don't like the job, get an education and get a better one. There are identical companies that don't have to deal with unions, and don't get pulled into the workplace drama that unions create.

More later, I'm too tired to think about it.

Agreed, I love the idea of a free market because I'm so much more intelligent than other people. People who hate this idea are either to nice and know someone who's stupid or to stupid and can't keep a job because of their stupidity.
