it's an old argument i used to have with my conservative grandmother who was staunchly anti-union
You can make up for it by opening markets, sure, importing foreign goods and services.
Nonetheless, it's still that much less of an expendable income available to the rightful owner of the seized wages that're the byproduct of their labors.
unions place pressure on industry making it less profitable and Clinton signs NAFTA so that companies can afford to pay workers more. once the tariffs are gone, those companies just move their labor abroad
Unions are bad.
Indeed.
This, my friends, is the representation of the inner child
Collective bargaining isn't.
Cancerous.
Speaking of unions
i wouldn't go that far
a type of collective bargaining is nessecary to keep the corporations in check
it has to be a balance
not asking so much the company can't make a profit
redpill: the free market is collective bargaining
I remember seeing a lecture by a KGB defactor, explaining how unions are used as a way to destroy the foundation a country is based upon
I would, given the inefficiencies in about 14% of the economy for which they operate total in the trillions/annually, costs carried over to consumers and tax-payers.
but not letting the company fuck over the community and workers
They're not necessary anymore because of worker mobility.
Labor markets have never been more competitive.
unions are unfortunately structured similarly to social organizations and thus have the same pitfalls
socialism is the mob
which is unions
ehhh, the competitivity is being strangled by many factors
Unhappy laborers can now find a new job within hours, move anywhere they wish at the drop of a dime.
Market is too unstable, and jobs change so quickly, having a union sounds like a waste of yime
'creative destruction'
At least from what I've observed
and the death of dollar voting
No, the worker mobility creates more uniformity around wages and compensation.
Not the unions.
you misunderstand the term
that does break down when you introduce foreign elements the way most of the west has
lol rand was a retard
outside investment, outsourcing and immigration hurt healthy productivity
'creative destruction' has less to do with worker livelihood as it does those elements that enable the productive worker and company that make a place a desirable community to live in
all of which are happening in spades
Immigration, sure, but we value our time more than an $8/hr wage for mowing lawns in the middle of 110 degree weather and 100% humidity.
mom and pop owned and operated stores are far better for a community and the economy long term than some mega superstore
lol 100% humidity
