Well stated, for many values of workers and unions.
I work in an industry which does not have unions, and have done just fine negotiating my own salary and benefits based on my professional skills and experience. I have worked in companies with as few as 6 employees, and as many as 100,000. I have been lucky enough to work in the parts of America where state laws about work hours and safety are strict, and enforced. Some of those laws were the result of labor union pressure, but others were passed as a reaction to the excesses of labor unions which tend to forget that in return for good pay and good conditions one must actually do good work.
If you think your union's corrupt, join it and vote for change Excellent long-term advice for those who belong to a union. But what about those of us who are paying too much for goods and services provided by those corrupt unions?
