Labor unions are proto communist

Not gonna argue that, but you'll notice industry does a very similar thing. Bunch of companies (oil, aircraft, widget) team up, pool resources and lobby for laws that favor them. I've been on both sides, both organizations are simply trying to get the best deal they can.

And they end up right where we are today, bloated books that require the government to subsidize the company to stay afloat. Socialism/communism by another name

Labor unions became obsolete once they got big govt to pass the labor laws (which we did need) they were originally fighting for. Now it's just all about gimmes

In some instances, maybe not. The glass plant I worked at in the 80s and 90s had been union, company busted it about two years before I started. It was a dangerous. insane place. Oil bust had economy in the can, we all put up with a lot of crap because there was nothing else. Union came back in '94, wages went up, actual rules governing attendance, safety, etc.. were agreed on, it worked well enough we were chosen as a "select" site for Anheuser-Busch.

Just my personal experience. I know horror stories about worthless union members in the aircraft business, Teamsters, etc.

In the old BellSouth days, the CWA techs were making $30+ an hour. BellSouth started up a new entertainment company called BellSouth Entertainment and all of the techs were non-union. They paid them
$9 to start and they had basic medical coverage and no retirement plan.

If they’re coming in here literally to just start shit and start fights, people going out of their way to let bygones be bygones, welcome them back, and they come in swinging on people. The equivalent of spitting in people faces who haven’t brought up shit against them, they can 2 step the fuck off they were always that way and just hid it better
I onbbiously missed someything in the pages I skipped. What happened?
