For example there are 2 union accountants working for state government, both doing the same job. There is absolute no motivation for accountant #1 to outperform accountant #2 because the union has locked in the wages at a set amount. There is zero motivation to excel and go above and beyond for union professional jobs, the citizens suffer the consequences.



There are enough labor acts such as FLSA that profession unions are not required.

I'm a retired firefighter of 38 1/2 yrs Union IAFF member, Baltimore City. I thank God every day for the union. You can only imagine the working conditions in Baltimore City. If you don't think unions are necessary for public sector employees, you don't know what you are talking about. All US cities are cesspool and citizens to match. And, the Democratic leadership is is nothing more than insanity.

The goal of a strong economy is to expand global marketshare , expand territory, control destiny of USA

With an end to radical class struggle , ending crt and blm, stopping the lavish waste fraud abuse and purging the Swamp of its corruption,

We can obtain the goal of fundamental execution


We need a USA that fundamentally executes its mission to serve the United States and not side track to things like appointing only a certain race and gender identity of …. We are going to see our nation gradually decline as like a superpower because we don’t have an objective anymore. We need keystone pipeline back, restore highest employment across all demographics, up our local manufacturing, work with small businesses to achieve national common goals, maintain military stronghold , accountability over who pays for NATO to be fair

I am a "right wing" republican, yet I support labor unions.

Without collective bargaining, US workers would have continued to be serfs and exploited by corporate entities. Unions brought about health insurance for workers, a 40 hour work week, and the ability for workers to retire.

Germany and Japan have Union enrollments of 25%, yet prosper. The root of our manufacturing issues is not Unions, it is very bad trade policies and lack of incentives to keep manufacturing in the US. True, some practices of Unions are detrimental, but overall provide a positive for a work force.

All I see Union is enriching themselves. Just look at NJEA boss, made 1.2 millions a year as a public school Union. The NJ property tax is the highest in the nation and it keep going up every year but student is not getting better. Many of the bad districts are costing 30+k per student and still failing.

Unions pay better and have better benefits. They pay their apprentices well while training them how to become master electricians, plumbers, etc.
