Re: Another reason I don't support Democrats | |
Unions do serve a good purpose. The problem is that some unions have gotten too big and have done more to hurt the working man than help. Unions are just one of many reasons why companies decide to manufacture goods overseas.
The biggest problem I have with unions is that they decide to throw their weight behind a politician (usually democrat) and individual members have absolutely no say in the matter. If unions truly were for the working man, they'd let each individual decide what politician their union dues support.
Unions have done a lot of good things though. Minimum wage, worker's rights, workman's compensation, health benefits, etc. have all come about largely because of unions.
