If you have grown up in an environment of Unionism you think Unions are wonderful. If you have grown up trying to run businesses that have unions you see how corrupt they are.
When unions try to organize they are ruthless with lies, threats, intimidation. The unions only help themselves they are there for the dues to pay for the leaders salaries, benefits, trips and fairwell parties to hear retiring attorneys.
Our education system smells because of the unions, an example from New York City where 7,000 union teachers are under a discipline penalty where they do not work but go to a location where they get full pay, full benefits, summers off and tell each other how abused they are. They are being disciplined for poor work, sexual offenses, crimes, faking injuries, and many other problems for which they should be fired. But with unions it is difficult to fire anyone for any reason so they set up areas such as I am describing.
I have dealt with unions all my life and find that you must not give in to them, you must follow the contract to the letter, document everything a troublesome employee does and you can fire anyone. The weak Administrators are too lazy to do what I suggest so they, and auto workers, end up with a situation as in New York.
Our education system suffers because of the inability to fire recalcitrant employees.
