I'm not a conservative, which may disqualify me from answering, but the issue I have with unions in general is that they want to monopolize the right to assemble as only applying to members of their organizations. Why can there only be one union at each factory or for each job?
Organizing to negotiate is a great thing, but not at the cost of denying each individual's right to assemble and organize competing unions that are more in line with their interests.
No, no, no...accountability is only for the little people.
As I've said before, the day that CEOs are hired on a "free market" and their compensation and job security is tied directly to performance, I will become more sympathetic towards their arguments.
Just wondering but what is the with the hate I see on this board from conservatives towards the unions ? I know a few union guys who vote republican but for the life of me I really don't see why. Are there any conservative/republican that can give me an actual answer without spinning off into the whole unions fund dem garbage and just give me an honest answer ? If you are so against unions and blame many of them for destroying businesses why then won't you also hold accountable the ceo's or other top execs who made more than any of the unions workers and who bankrupted the company giving themselves extravagant bonuses.
What if instead of the unions supporting and giving money to mainly dems what if they gave money to republicans instead ? Would you still dislike them so much ?
You make assumptions not warrented by facts. We ARE against profiteering CEO's, just as we are against union thugs who distort market forces, hide incompetency and drive up the costs of goods and services.
Labor unions have destroyed much of our educational infrastructure, such as in California. Holding governments hostagle with their excessive demands.
