When you join a union you give up your individuality. You cant work hard and achieve a merit increase on your own. You cant get promoted. I don't see the appeal at all. The union to me holds a community (aka Detroit area) hostage by creating a microeconomic bubble that isn't free enterprise, but held back by the ability to grow. Military towns are the same thing. Drive through a town that is existent on the military for most of their GDP and notice that all of the infrastructure is old. Nothing vibrant about the economy if the government doesn't provide subsidiaries. Unions unnecessarily inflate operating costs and tie businesses to a labor force that doesn't match up with the natural flow of their business. The way to eliminate that is to contract everything out. Therefore, spending more money trying to stop form spending more money. Labor laws are stout and effective these days. There are consequences for the employer and the employee for not doing the right thing. Every job that a union touches should have a cap to it. A simple example would be a person that sweeps the floor. How much should they make at 3 years? 15hr? At 15 years? 20hr? 25 years? ??? It is still a job where people are sweeping floors. This shouldn't be a job where the longer someone is there, they get more money. There are many jobs that this example applies to in a union. There are other skilled jobs that people are underpaid and the union is holding them back from making more. The union served a very real purpose at one time, but in todays market and FLSA laws, it is antiquated and a reason jobs are sent over seas.
