Unions representing workers have been in existence for a long time. They were born to empower employees to force greedy corporations and business owners alike to pay them a fair wage and provide a safe work environment. However, over time, the Unions have become so powerful that it is them who's demands are now sometimes so unreasonable that some private companies are forced into bankruptcy. It seems no matter what starts out as a good cause, it eventually gets hijacked by power hungry and greedy people. This also applies to organizations such as the UN, WHO, jus to name a couple.
I tend to compare the phenomenon of unions to an immune response: when the infection (the owners' greed) is strong enough, the immune system (unionization) gears up. But immune responses aren't always proportionate or necessary (think of allergies, or symptoms--which are expressions of building immunity--that linger long after the infection has receded). Unions, like any institution, can end up serving themselves rather than the good outcome they originally sought.
So long as the infection of greed and exploitation continues, I will applaud union organizing efforts.
And let's tread lightly with small businesses, cooperatives, and the like.
Funny how these companies are being caught as tge hypocrites they are saying one thing and doing another. Whether be unionized or not, there's a lot of entitlement mentalities that exists in workforce driven by many of the rapidly changing culture due to social media and social engineering by the government and media.
Here's hoping it works as a win win and doesn't drive those big companies out of places that make it hard to do business in.
IT seems to me that the bottom line is that The Governments want to shut down smaller businesses and keep Amazon and places like Walmart open during any future lock downs.
