Why do Republicans hate people trying to form Unions so they can make a decent living?

Answer 1

Repubicans hate unions because it guarantees the workers living wages for the work they do, instead of more profits for business. Look no further than Mexico to prove this point. If it were not for the Union struggles for the last 100 years, we would be on par with Mexico for wages. Why do you think everyone wants to come here from central and south America to work? It's because the Unions were able to raise wages here. A virtual war with big business backed by private armies to bully and beat workers into submission has been fought by unions since 1900. Fortunately for you, and me, Unions have prevailed, or you would be earning $2 a day for your 16 hour work day right now. Hug and thank a union member today.

Answer 2

I don't know about Republicans, but I don't hate people trying to form unions, I hate unions themselves. Unions have nothing to do with making a decent living any more. They function only to generate revenue for union leaders. Unions don't care about workers that are not in the union, and don't even consistently take action in the best interest of the union members themselves.

Answer 3

That question is like someone asking you when did you stop beating your wife. You are accusing Republicans of hating people for an action, when it's the ACTION that Republicans often DISAGREE with. Take the Department of Homeland Security for example. The President didn't think it was a good idea to have that Department unionized (given the critical nature of their work). In the Federal government, unions get to approve minor details, like if someone leaves, who moves into the vacant office and what office the new hire is assigned to (sometimes resulting in a cascade of moves just because one person left and one person was hired). They also get to review all reassignments (transfers, promotions, etc). I for one thin that is an inefficient use of government resources, but I don't hate the people who wanted to unionize. I just think that white collar professionals should behave as such.

Answer 4

I'm thinking not all Republicans does a Union-hater make.

Answer 5

That is quite a generalization! Only a minority of people are against any form of unionization. However, unions unchecked by regulations are really a group of bullies who drive the cost of production up and thus make things more expensive for the rest of us.

In addition, some unions monopolize certain industries and therefore take away the freedom of choice of some workers. You either join the union or you are effectively prevented from working in a particular branch of industry. There are many other reasons for opposing unregulated unions, among those reasons are corruption and crime.

Answer 6

Unions had their place back in the day of the sweat shop. Here's a little competitive info for you. The Foreign car manufacturers in this country (US) are able to manufacture a car for a loaded cost of $47. per hour. The US union sponsored auto worker costs the company $87 per hour which raises the price of the car and they are unable to compete and they are on their last legs because of their inability to compete. The white collar workers generally have experience, skills, and degrees to get them other jobs, but the line worker will be screwed. This is all about economics and the unions do not make sense. They are also the blame for the dumbing down of American students. I can tell you from experience I have always made more than the union workers in my career field and have progressed further too.

Answer 7

I don't think hate is the appropriate description. However my guess is most folks apposed to unions are those who have educated themselves and make it in this world without the help of a union. Personally I think anyone who wants to have a union should, but I also think if members of a union choose to strike the only benefit they are entitled to is unemployment and loss of the job they asked for. They should be replace by someone who is willing to work for the same working conditions the union member said was not good enough.
