Eh, the odd hours bar me from the one job with the labor unions (can't take public transit at those hours, and my old car isn't up to commuting that far. Lost a tire and brakes just getting to the interview...). Haven't heard from the other one

It comes back to something we've discussed before, that businesses should be incentivized (though not straight-up forced) to spend money productively, to force them off of cash-hording and, in this case, rent-seeking.

That's a shame.  If anyone could use some good people it's the labor unions.  They've taken a beating lately.

I'm pro labor unions msyself, though i think part of it is on them as they tend to operate dumb using there power to save people who quite honestly shouldn't be saved, leading to lost productivity, hiring of new (hopefully) competent workers while keeping around the saftey violators and just in general people who do nothing.

Which hurts the companys bottom line.  Often leading to layoffs and people having to leave because some of the jackasses who hired on before them have seniority.

I tend to agree with that. Unions need to better-discipline themselves much like management does, but if we tilt too far in the interests of big business, we'll see deteriorating conditions all over.

I also don't agree in the Union's support of economic Protectionism. There should be an option for not treating american workers like garbage that doesn't involve tarriffs.
