How do you explain wages increasing faster without unions or minimum wage laws, than with them?
How do explain migration from union areas to non-union areas and not the other way around (except for a decade or so in Detroit).
Unions can't, so they choose to ignore these facts and make up their own history.
Or they want to bypass human workers to adopt the latest technology, like robots, that replaces them. I'm sure it will be easy to program a robot that's anti-union.
This is why Republicans are dangerous, how stupid can these people by? They must already be robots. How can they be so against working people, enough to call them "thugs". They are digging their own graves.
Are you really ignorant enough to believe that the choice is
union job with benefits at $20 an hour
non union job with no benefits making minimum wage?
I cant take anyone seriously who believes this..
Why not? Have you simply not walked a day of your life in the real work day world before, while looking for a job? I know I have. If never for you, what a sheltered life you've had.

With so FEW members to tend to, they have plenty of time to make up their own history. They haven't got a future, after all. 6% private sector now, 35% 40 years ago, most likely it will drop under 4% within a decade or two looking at the trend line..long-term.

I find it amazing they cry about union dues, I have never heard a union member complain about this. It is worth it and I am glad each worker gets a chance to speak at monthly union meetings which include top brass, speaking as a union member myself.
Yup.It was the best $40 I spent every month and retiring at age 54 was pretty cool too.The company I worked for did very well with their union labor.Well enough to be spending over a billion dollars on a new rolling mill.Being built with union labor and to be operated with union labor. ATI chooses firm to supply rolling mill in Brackenridge

Sure I have, not once have I had choices you are prescribing.. If thats your life then god it must suck to not be able to find anything more than minimum wage without a union.
