Won't somebody think of the poor corporations.
FYI, a simple Google search would tell you Union's were not the cause of what happened in Detroit.
It has zero to do with the decline of detroit, which actually started in the 1950s.
Why not read some actual research into the issue instead of googling for websites that confirm your point of view? I found those same articles too, and they're crap.
Let me ask you something, did you even consider the source of those two websites you linked?
It’s capitalism. It’s always capitalism.
A lot of the things that U.S. unions need to fight fore are things that workers in Japan and Germany have by default through law - like healthcare, pension, protections against permanent temp workers etc
Looking at your post history I can’t tell if you are a troll, incel or both. I don’t understand how you are the way you are.
Oh absolutely. But unions are the only way to even approach a fair balance between capital and labor. Hell, even bullshit like the Baseball union running interference on drug testing in the Mark Maguire era hurt the game more than it helped. But the answer is to make the unions better, not get rid of them.
You in no way said to get rid of them, I'm not putting that on you. The attitude I'm talking about is the same that says,"There's some gov't waste, so we need to get rid of gov't spending" instead of just making it better. Or the idea of going to Mars instead of making things work here. Again, not you, just my rambling thoughts.
