On the contrary in the case of construction skills it has been my experience union workers were highly skilled and proud of their work.

Just look at the clothing that was made here and what is now shipped from elsewhere. Almost anything else you can think of that is imported from some non western country is shoddy workmanship and cheaply slapped together.
Don't get me started on shoes
Union workers in Idaho before r2r were dedicated and cared about their output and about the company's success cause they felt it reflected on them and gave them a good living.

As I have stated before, everything a Union has to offer now in the way of worker protection, is covered by laws. Now, they are an orgaization that extorts employers, demands pay levels above market tolerance, just so the workers can pay them to 'protect' them.

Sounds like a Coppala movie, eh?

I wonder though how long those laws will roll back once collective bargaining is dead. Fact is Right to Work states pay scales are 3.5% less than those with out the Right to Work laws. The also have higher rates of unemployment. Now I left the Union in 1980 as I went into another line of work as a Security Contractor and later into other businesses.

Given that 90% of the US workforce is NOT union right now, I seriously doubt those laws will go anywhere. I mean, if 10% of the workforce suddenly isn't union, you really think that's going to mean squat regarding the laws?

Please provide us with some specifics about that. Some charts showing the wages per state comparing worker freedom states to forced union states would be sufficient, I think.

Here's someone against right to work who cites a study saying the exact opposite. And uses that study as a grounds to claim that "right to work" is unnecessary.

Y'all should try to get your facts straight and together. You have some people arguing against worker freedom and liberty citing that allowing workers freedom means lower wages, and other people also against worker's freedom of choice citing that allowing workers freedom shows no change whatsoever so why bother?


If unions are so awesome, then giving workers freedom and choice should have no effect on them. If it does have an effect on them, then maybe workers don't feel unions are so awesome after all. Regardless, it should be an individual's choice. I remain dumbfounded why some people don't wish to allow workers freedom and choice.

Huh?

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Regardless, a $1000 bucks or so is hardly significant.

But I did find this:

If you CHOOSE to belong to an org you should pay dues. If you are FORCED to belong to an org, those dues should not be stolen from you against your will.

Additionally, there's zero issue, IMO, of employees choosing not to join the union thug club and then also NOT getting the "benefit" of being told what to do by them or how much they should make or if they can work or not work, etc. No issue with that at all. I'm completely and always on the side of individual freedom and choice.
