So we have unions so people can assume loyalty has a meaning and instead of being involved in to better themselves they can instead demand and force the owners to do their bidding. Did I get it right? Or is it perhaps that has to do with their effectiveness and no so much why associations of workers exist. Hmmm..
Its appears to be working fine. What exactly isn't working? The only problem is that we aren't competitive and right now we just floating a bit on the fact of having more freedoms than china.
Your analysis of collective bargaining and loyalty is so far fetched form reality as to be a sad case of profound ignorance.
The Teamsters that I grew up with had business agents that would give their word on a new contract at a local bar that both the Teamsters and company owners frequented and the deals were done
on a hand shake!! Signatures were only a formality!! Those companies and our local union had been in business together, in some cases, going back to the turn on the 20th century.
Loyalty you ask?? A union contract is a benefit that comes under the freedom of association guaranteed by The Constitution of the United States America and the concept of collective bargaining goes back to the medieval
stone masons of continental Europe!
They had a highly skilled and necessary skill that was in demand. You sign a labor contract every time you take your car to a mechanic! Do you think those places pay their mechanics $100 an hour for labor???
Man, dude - get a grip. Company loyalty is going by the way side because nobody has a long term job anymore. Everybody’s
an independent contractor . . . No, you should spend more time actually talking to union people instead of attacking their characters: bums under a contract have nothing to worry about with respect to the company;
ooohhh noo!; the worry of the bum is rested in his fellow union members. Because they are the ones that are going to run him out of job: he draws too much attention.
And, you say that the free market is working fine huh? Have you looked outside lately? Were you there in Sept 2007, or did you just wake up?
No, like I said, you gave two great holes to fill with your completely uninformed and actually laughable opinion.
Man: unbelieveable.
