I would agree that unions are necessary as they prevent abuse by employers, but they should not be favored over others as the playing field should be level for all. An entrepreneur, small business, large corporation, free worker or a union should never be favored over the other. The situations when a condition of employment is to join the union productivity is stifled, breeds incompetence and inefficiency. When a union decides how to run an entity it is inherently corrupt and mismanaged. Just look at our public schools and anything else that is government ran. You can not argue that in the public sector the protectionism and collusion with government has gone to far a constitutes a monopoly. It has been proven time and time again that a monopoly leads to ruin for the majority.
We have spent an inordinate amount of resources on public education with very little positive results. I am not saying we abandon the public schools just that we minimally fund it so that all can have a basic education and allow vouchers so that there is an alternative to the failed union organized leftist ran public schools. Not all Americans want to have their children indoctrinated.
A typical view of those who have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to running schools. Reagan was typical, he slashed funds for research and tax breaks that helped people go to graduate school. His policies left a vacuum of highly trained workers to fill top technological jobs. We now have to import foreigners to fill those jobs. Remember, private schools choose who they let in, public schools cannot do that.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous you are quoting unfounded ivory tower elite leftist assumptions not facts. We have spent an inordinate amount of resources on public education with very little positive results.
