Where did the anti labor sentiment originate?
No no no! You conservative types are against labor organizing! Please try to keep it straight.With the various cases of workers taking stand in the airline industry perhaps we shall see strikes popping up? Perhaps this becomes more common for issues such as pay and benefits and such instead of just a vax mandate. Interesting thought.
Yes they want less wages while the top takes it all.
There has been plenty of examples of union bad behaviour by there is plenty of bad corporation behaviour as well...That is true enough. But the unions are not blameless.
I was adamantly anti-union for many years. Mainly because I saw what the power-plays had done.
In the mid-1970, Gulf States papermill in Tuscaloosa was a major employer. The union pushed for a strike. Jack Warner, CEO of Gulf States, told the union he would give them what they wanted, but that he had to refurbish and upgrade the papermill first. The union didn't like that. So they took a vote among the members for a strike. Jack Warner had warned the union that he would close the mill if they went on strike. The union called for a vote 5 times. The first 4 times there were not enough votes for the strike. The 5th vote had enough for the strike. So the workers went on strike. After attempts at negotiations failed, Jack Warner closed the plant. The upper levels of the union transferred elsewhere. The workers were left without jobs. Many of the workers had been there for their entire careers. I knew many of them. My neighbor went from being a foreman to pumping gas at a full service gas station. We all know where that job led. There were a dozen former papermill workers working for Pinkerton Security at the hospital when I worked as a guard in college. They were all beaten old men who never recovered.
