      Yes they are, as human nature hasn’t changed. Those with power will always seek to abuse those without. Unions level the power imbalance.

      Remember, red states are literally bringing back child labor. How long until they suggest doing away with weekends or only working 40 hours in a week?

      Look at what unions have recently achieved for their members. None of those things would have happened without the unions.

        And what do you think unions are doing huh? They only look out for their own wallets and are intertwined with liberal politics. They bring no equality, don’t be naive. They get nice and fat while doing the bare minimum. They are going after retail workers now because those people are the only ones dumb enough to vote a union in. And they stoke their party members when it is time for union bosses to get a raise. STRIKE for a higher wage. Why? Not for the workers. Because with a higher wage come? That’s right, higher union dues. The same reason why Democrats want 15 bucks an hour. It won’t change a thing, in fact it will lump a bunch more people who make slightly more in with the minimum wage folk. But it does provide the government with more? That’s right, income tax.

        Good luck, you just added another Tax on your pay stub. And it won’t change the nature of the job either. It still sucks.

          So you think the auto workers who just got a 25% base pay increase are going to pay 100% of that increase into taxes and union dues?

            LOL

            You haven’t got a clue about the ramifications of those 25% pay increases. Both for the companies and the consumer. Unions do nothing but pad their own bottom line. Period.

      Smoking bans are no longer needed on airplanes. I havent met a single person who has ever seen someone smoke on an airplane, the law is now redundant.
