@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- What is your stance on Labor Unions? Are they good or bad, have they started good but become bad - how would you fix this?

2019-09-11 23:02:36 UTC  

I love what they used to stand for

2019-09-11 23:03:23 UTC  

I just don't like how what workers are graciously given can be exploited.

2019-09-11 23:03:30 UTC  

Labor unions are awesome

2019-09-11 23:03:50 UTC  

Workers organizing their labor prevents their opression

2019-09-11 23:04:02 UTC  

Yeah, I like that

2019-09-11 23:04:27 UTC  

But, so many times i see people exploit every free day they can get

2019-09-11 23:04:36 UTC  

fuck off commie bastard

2019-09-11 23:04:56 UTC  

you can't say they haven't done anything good

2019-09-11 23:05:14 UTC  

Unions gave everyone more rights

2019-09-11 23:05:25 UTC  

But they've gone a little far

2019-09-11 23:05:25 UTC  

Labor Unions used to be a vital and essential tool for the progression of worker's rights and good pay - unfourtnely Labor Unions are now as corrupt as the Corporations they were formed to oppose.

2019-09-11 23:05:29 UTC  

Unions are too easily infiltrated, ESOP are where its at for the employees and owners

2019-09-11 23:05:55 UTC  

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

2019-09-11 23:06:27 UTC  

What WinCo does

2019-09-11 23:06:30 UTC

2019-09-11 23:06:38 UTC  

Gives employees company stock

state run labor union with a workers council that lets both proletarian and bourgeois reach agreements on conditions and pay and allows that workers only be fired for genuine reasons

2019-09-11 23:08:53 UTC  

Other Companies such as In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A are also great example of owners treating employees very *very* well

2019-09-11 23:09:13 UTC  

Ford Motor Company under the founder Henry Ford as well

2019-09-11 23:09:21 UTC  

Even Janitor's and Part-Time employees receive 401k plans, paid sick and vacation leave, dental and medical insurance

2019-09-11 23:10:14 UTC  

Better treated employees are more productive

2019-09-11 23:10:25 UTC  

And will stay with the company for longer

2019-09-11 23:10:31 UTC  

The problem with Unions is that the owners and workers interests are at odds. ESOP solves that problem

2019-09-11 23:10:45 UTC  

The two become one

2019-09-11 23:10:50 UTC  

Sure

2019-09-11 23:11:02 UTC  

I think Labor Unions would be better if it was 100% democratic

2019-09-11 23:11:04 UTC  

i.e no "owner"

2019-09-11 23:11:15 UTC  

Each decision is voted on by all members

2019-09-11 23:11:45 UTC  

Anyways ive gtg

2019-09-11 23:12:22 UTC  

As far as I’m concerned labor unions are a useful balance to the company in order to prevent abuse by employers if it occurs.

2019-09-11 23:14:06 UTC  

I strongly prefer unions with a council and charter over a single leader union however.

2019-09-11 23:14:34 UTC  

That makes sure the *unions* are kept in check by the employees.

2019-09-11 23:16:56 UTC  

this was a pretty great system imo
its a shame that the war prevented completion of many projects

@Deleted User They only existed because they unironically killed all the other unions.

2019-09-11 23:25:22 UTC  

yeh and they did a better job @DrRisen

2019-09-11 23:25:45 UTC  

@Deleted User better for some, worse for others.

2019-09-11 23:26:22 UTC  

worse for the jew and the businessmen better for the german worker

2019-09-11 23:26:44 UTC  

@Deleted User Don’t play dumb, you know what I was saying.

2019-09-11 23:27:16 UTC
