i agree with this, public sector unions should be abolished forever. private sector unions however should be free to created. the only thing is that i would make it illegal to force people to join a union.
As far as public sector unions, the opponents didn't really articulate a reason why they think they should be illegal, but there is a downside to doing this.
Having advocacy on the side of workers helps discourage politicians prone to corruption from firing good employees for being whistleblowers when something corrupt or malfeasant happens and gives good employees more protection for doing the right thing. If a politician thinks they can just fire someone for doing the right thing without having a legitimate reason for doing so, corruption is more likely to be swept under the rug because good people are afraid to speak up because of losing their job with no one having their back.
Also, if private sector workers have a benefit that public sector workers can't have, this is one more way to make it harder to attract quality employees who may look elsewhere.
No, unions are just an exercise of free association. However unions should not be able to use coercion on ownership. If a union strikes, its members are subject to termination. Unions also shouldnt be able to force contracts, pay or membership agreements on those who dont wish to join or against the express wishes of ownership.
You dont get special privledges or protections because you become part of a group
. Unions also shouldnt be able to force contracts, pay or membership agreements on those who dont wish to join or against the express wishes of ownership.
You don't have to belong to a union if you don't want to. I work in a union shop and I have every right to not pay union dues every month and terminate my membership if I want to. I've seen the good and bad of unions over the years, and even now I still have mixed feelings on how unions conduct their business.
