Question

If someone told you that unions are unnecessary for workers in today's environment, how would you refute that statement?

Answer 1

I don't think that I would even try. Unions are no longer necessary and as a matter of fact are an encumbrance to legitimate negotiations between all parties sitting at the table.

Today unions are self serving archaic business that rely upon their parasitic nature in order to survive.

Answer 2

The biggest thing that unions are doing to help this economy is keeping jobs hear. Most states have what is called "employment at will" which means that they can fire employees at any time for any reason and move jobs to where there is cheaper labor. With unions, not only is the employment contracted (thus set) but the termination clauses almost always contain a "good cause" provision. This means the employer must show good cause to terminate someone, which makes it impossible to eliminate many jobs at once and ship them over seas. Unions are the only reason there is still some manufacturing in U.S.

Answer 3

If they are unnecessary, then why are all government employees union members? This goe's for police, fire and teachers also. Look at the "right to work" States that don't have unions. You can be fired or let go for any/or no reason at all.
