youtube has competitors, but nobody knows about them, because everyone is hanging out on youtube.
i think youtube screwing up is a good thing, because the competitors needs some traffic, and people could use some more options.
to complain about youtube making people unable to speak is in my mind accepting their market dominance and wanting to maintain their dominance by keeping their policies acceptible.
why not just celebrate their failure and help boycott them?
That's what I've been wondering about, not the boycott, but why many want to get the government involved, declare them public utilities, instead of just use their failures to bolster the competition.
because they are dumb
why else
Can someone explain to me why workers unions get to charge people that are not members of the union? Where is the incentive for the union to represent the workers if they don‘t have to do their job and still get paid?
similar reason a doctor can't tell you how much an x-ray costs.
bullshit.
Well... i don‘t get charged for x-rays so i don‘t care - not american so i don‘t know what that reference means 😉
because the union gets to dictate terms, because they represent a collective of individuals.
IE like insurance companies
Hmm... but do they represent the individuals if they have no incentive to do that?
the reason Unions get to charge non-members
is cuz otherwise, you'd have people not sign up, but still benefit if the Union gets something positive for the workers
so you can't get freeloaders
but this way, yes its corruptable, cuz the union gets money no matter what
and they use that money for fancy things and campaign donations etc
Tim pool did talk about the union at one of the places he worked at.
Cant recall which but he di share those sentiments.
@GingaBomber yeah tim did a good job explaining the unions on vice were he used to work at
I believe this is the vid https://youtu.be/XVy5gCrm5UU
I thought sweden was far left when it came to unions but I had no idea that there are countries where non-union members have to pay.
As far as I know that is absolutely not the case in sweden
People that kind of brag that the union is unnecessary get a lot of critique from union members for freelancing, although half complain that they don't appreciate the past things the unions did, which imo is retarded because by that logic you must be a nazi if you use the autoban or like that it exists. Or think that the infrastructure in Germany is a good thing for trade or whatnot because the nazis got almost all of that started
unions are not bad, but they also have more power than they should
unions should not get to charge non-union members. If unions are necessary in any particular industry, people will join a union. if they have achieved their goal in balancing the power out, people will stop joining the union.
Why are unions necessary, and collective bargaining not enough?
I have only ever heard bad things about unions when people talk about when they were in a union
When I got an envelope telling me how I could sign up for the union at my work and read the cost I threw it in the trash.
well you would have to define what a union is.
if a group of people team up in a company, is that not a union? You have to be very careful to define what and what is not considered a union. Any group of people usually form a structure of leadership.
it is not
teaming up for the sake of negotiation is collective bargaining
Union is an organization
and when is the line crossed?
when the group teaming up gives itself a name?
Have administration and charge members
what if they didn't charge members, but accepted donations?
In that case would depend but leans away from being a typical Union
this is why i say you have to be careful what is and is not considered a union
Course, if it is something that accepts donations, sounds like it is highly susceptible to corruption
Isnt a Union just like an Alliance?
a group formed by individual units working towards a common goal?
any power structure is highly susceptible to corruption.
