I see you've never taken a course in history, that's sad but it proves why you are what you are.
History.....
Really? You have to go back to the 1800s, to justify something today?
Look, I get that in the 1800s and even early 1900s, we had things like Mining Towns.
The company paid to have a rail road built, paid to have people moved there, paid for the housing, to food, everything.... and in return people were paid in company dollars, only usable at the company store.
This made it almost impossible for people to do anything, but stay working in the mine. They were trapped. They couldn't buy a wagon, because the company store didn't stock wagons, and why would they? You don't need it. The mine is right there. People didn't have money, or a way to leave. They were trapped in the mining town.
In that situation, I understand why unions were needed. I get it. Makes sense.
Please tell me who, anywhere is trapped? I had a job that paid me $8/hour, when you consider how many hows I worked, and how much it cost me to do that job.
What did I do? Form a union? Try and force management to pay more?
No I quit. I found another job that pays better. In fact I just did that this month. My last day at my current job is next week.
There is no value to a union today.
