In the non union shop I work in we are above average across the industry in everything but life insurance, which we are average in. Locally, we are guaranteed to earn 5% more than any competitor. Why do people think unions are the best thing to exist? In the industry I work for, they only allow for all the shit I talked about, plus added distress from the actual hiring process and keeping your spot thereafter.

I did not say unions aren't great for some, but most certainly, as the comment I replied to was saying, they are not needed nor wanted in every workplace.

Funny how people down vote just because their one sided view is challenged. If I still worked at McDonald's, I'd love a union. When I was working in the pharmacy at Kroger, I'd of loved a union. I don't. I work in manufacturing, and unless I'm working for a big 3 automotive union, then all it would do is fuck me and my fellow coworkers over. And even now, I still wouldnt be able to get a job at those places because first you have to work 5 years as a temp being underpaid and dealing with union workers shit for that entire time plus some extra before you actually get hired in. People really only consider the benefits for their industry, not others.

Unions would ruin my work place. Fuck over young people who work hard for advancement, allow shitty workers to stay in place, the company would start to take advantage to force lower pay due to deal laws, I wouldn't be able to negotiate my own pay, and benefits would likely drop as administration is handed over to a larger union that promises better benefits but really just takes the cheapest deal. That ontop of union dues.

Unions are not always great.
