[QUOTE="GillEagan, post: 1465315, member: 56154"] 1. Unions that do exist here are quite weak. Most are only out to make money off the union members only. As a result nobody really wants unions as they have made a bad name for themselves. 2. Wages are always lower than in union states. 3. Without unions, employers are able to do almost what ever they want to their employees with no recourse to the employee. Things such as making them work 14 hour shifts, mandantory weekend overtime every weekend, unsafe work conditions despite the OSHA laws. Don't like it? No problem. There's the door. 4. Hire and fire shops. Basically companies that hire you for 90 days and then fire you so they can avoid giving you a raise. Fortunately most companies here don't do this or only do it some what. However there are the few bad apples that do this to the extreme. As for the health insurance loss, I think that is more of the so called Obama Care that is behind that and not the RTW vs Union issue. [/QUOTE]
