[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 936881, member: 7966"] I certainly don't have any objections to Unions ... in fact, I totally support the concept of collective bargaining. I found this quote from a person within the Libertarian Party that is consistent with my beliefs regarding Unions (not all : [url=http://www.lp.org/news/press-releases/lp-chair-the-problem-in-wisconsin-is-not-unions-but-government]LP Chair: The problem in Wisconsin is not unions but government | Libertarian Party[/url] [I] Hinkle comments, "Libertarians are neither pro-union nor anti-union. We believe that the right of association and freedom of contract allows any group of people to choose to bargain collectively rather than individually. Naturally, we oppose violence and threats of such, but unions per se can play a major role in a free society. The problem is that the battle between the Wisconsin state government and state employees isn't even remotely a[B] free market[/B].[/I] I also do not think Corporations should be treated as individuals as Corporations are products of the State and are not free market entities. It is not that regulators are too lax but that they regulate the wrong things and the regulations are not set up to protect the citizens of the US. Furthermore, the labor laws should be be strong to protect the collective bargaining agreements and rights. At the same time, Unions should not be able to require the members to belong to the Union and be represented by them. While I don't trust the Government much, I may trust Corporations even less to act in the best interest of society or US citizens. [/QUOTE]
