They’re getting a bad rep

Labor Unions were necessary

@John O - REEEEE

I SAID DON'T @ ME

@John O - hey cutie.

For the record, I'm non Union

My company is owned by a Mexican parent company. They’re ripping off farmers wages. A union would do wonders

I understand why people hate unions, but what do you do when the rich treat their workers like garbage?

It's simply a check on human greed

The issue is that Unions are pro immigration, which is the opposite of the logical mindset of a Union

Yeah, now we need unions for the unions...

and then a union for them

Public Unions are garbage, private are kind of on basis

I'm anti Corporatist, but I'm also aware that Unions are huge political machines, similar to corporations

Who's running these unions? 👃

Unions have become too big

Absolute power corrupts..

@missliterallywho The mob

So does money

I like Feudalism

Lets go WAY back

@John O - spaghett?

I've found getting people to do the right thing doesn't work when you don't have leverage on them

Yes

*C'mon, don't do that, it's not right* is not a persuasive argument to those that simply don't care

thus the mobs and pitch forks

class division

Which ties it all back to the importance of class mobility

And passing some of those earnings down to the workers

I’d be on the short end of the stick without class mobility

Find balance between the old order and the new @John O -

So we don't end up right where we're currently at

Going back 3 or 4 gens anyhow

Literally everyone in IE would @William Russell

That’s no joke

Corporate earnings way up, stock market way up, wages... the same. Angry people, why's that?

People are making our salaries in a pay period.

@Deleted User fs my dude. I'm not an economist, I'm not smart enough to re-invent the wheel, all I know is that romanticizing miserable periods of human history is bad

and then going to book it when it all falls apart

only to come back to invest in the shattered and cheap market
