It is because they are colluding to pay less, sending jobs to other countries, importing workers, getting rid of unions....
With the exception of government, unions are a thing of the past. They aren't coming back either.
A company has every right to operate where they desire. That's something you can't stop. It's the nature of the business and has been going on the last few decades.
If you have any undisputed evidence of businesses "colluding" they are so few and far between that it wouldn't put a dent in our economy.
If we want to be great again we need strong unions.
Every company needs to do business in the US. We need to take advantage of that fact and make sure they are created well paying jobs here if they want to be in the biggest economy in the world.
I have given several examples of big companies colluding. Most companies don't get caught, but it is happening.
We need to get rid of non competes. They are anti worker and anti capitalism.
If the people don't want unions, and the workers don't want unions, and the companies don't want unions, why should we have unions?
So you force unions on companies. Then they move overseas or to a Right to Work state and all those employees are out of a job. It's better to have a job that pays less than you'd like than to have no job at all, don't you think?
People have been lied to about unions. They were told the good workers would make more and blah blah blah. Well they all just make less. They will want to be union again.
Well if they want to be union again, don't you think that's their decision and not yours?
My employer told all of us that if we ever unionized, he would close down the business and reopen under a new business name.
You on the left have to understand the Action/Reaction process. If you take a negative action against somebody, you will likely receive a negative reaction.
The reason people don't want unions any longer is because they are the main culprit of job loss in America. We've learned from our mistakes. Yes, it was a gravy train ride for quite a while, but that ride is over. It's time to face reality.
The American consumer will not support good paying monkey jobs. Even McDonald's ordered thousands of kiosks to replace order takers. It won't be long before they automate their food preparation as well.
More and more grocery stores are adding self-serve checkouts. It won't be long until they are all self-serve. Grocery stores at one time had a very strong union and people did monkey jobs and made great money.
I actually know several people fired for even considering Unionizing. And I don't blame the management one bit.
