Because they are very important for a good economic ecosystem. Some people may disagree, but those are probably people who are not in a Union, or have a business where they don't want a Union involved. What Unions does best is the the ability to create "Velocity of Money," into a nation's economy. The money flows at a higher rate when the lower income bracket uses to purchase goods and services. Trade Unions that pay really high wages give opportunity to a lower portion of the economic sector to make better purchasing decisions with their newly found purchasing power. Can a union be bad? Sure, but unions locals are only as bad as it's members; if the members don't care about how it's run, it can becomes a corrupt organization where friends and family lead it, over the most qualified members. I'm in a union, and I understand that some people just wish to do the bare minimum, or take advantage of worker rights like FMLA, but don't be fooled by the union busting mentality in the USA. They serve a greater purpose. My union provides me with 6 weeks of vacations per year (I can use them all at once, or as i choose), great healthcare benefits, a pension, a living wage, and most important of all, peace of mine. I don't need to kiss a$$ to my boss to be in good terms in my job; All I need to do is my job, and do it right. When you're are dependable, people leave you alone, give you space and trust. You might be given more work, but take it as learning experience to get better at what you do. When I show my skills to others, it just motivates them to keep up(some don't, but when the majority of people follow, the rest get in line). Lead by example, not by friendship; it works wonders in blue color jobs. I hope this helps you a little. Good luck! |
Yes this certainly helps me. Gratitude for your kind and useful thoughts
