Never been in a union but my hubby has and it is what got his JOB back when he was UNJUSTLY fired! A necessity for the employee who is stepped on by corporate twits, IMHO.
LEGACY costs created by union negotiations are ginormous for businesses to pay out long term, can hear them groan! More of an issue are the legacy costs of unionized municipal workers bc they burden generations of tax payers in their neighborhood.
Why the hell shouldn't people have the right to organize? Or let me re phrase that since you probably have no problem with corporations and millionaires and billionaires organizing. Why shouldn't workers have the right to organize?
Umm I am not against public employees having a Union, not sure how you got that idea.

This is exactly why unions are indispensable. Constructive termination is commonplace. People say oh no that's illegal, but management does it anyway. Getting a lawyer to enforce the law early in ones career can mean years of unemployment. Unions stop the BS.
Your opinion about Walker's criticism of public unions not holding water is noted. I, however, disagree.
I've seen quotes from Walker saying he doesn't want private workers to have to join the private union and pay union fees if they don't want to join. Sounds fair to me.
Please provide a quote specifically for your claim of what he said and how he is "going after private unions" if you want to discuss private unions.
If the private worker doesn't want to pay the union dues than he shouldn't take the job. Why the hell should the others pay the union dues while he gets it for free? The union is there because the workers voted to have a union.
Walker doesn't give a rats ass about this private worker. He just wants to cut off union dues so that unions aren't getting any money and so can't survive
Have I ever once excused this? Unlike some folks, I'm not "all in" for one team, this is not a sport where you root mindlessly for your side over the other.
I've only seen you complain about one side. If I'm wrong about that, I'm happy about being wrong.
"The Most Dangerous Man in America" and it's not President Obama? What's happening to this forum? SMH
