[QUOTE="Serf, post: 1278854, member: 50254"] I respect your stance. And actually commend you for at least trying to taking a stab at it. You analyzed talking points. Had verifiable counter points. But I feel like the "apples to oranges" comparison just does not carry enough weight to make a strong enough argument against the essence of unionization. Unions laid the foundations for the the labor laws we have now. But it does not simply mean they are the law of the land and without them the middle class dies. I believe it's a much larger problem then that. Major corporations and banks control the country and world. So much so that they can even hold the Government hostage. So why on God's Earth would the majority of companies let the workers gain leverage on them and dictate terms? How much have technological advances contributed to income inequality? Globalization and off-shoring? The necessity of having a college education to land a decent-paying job? The decline of labor unions? Also, being somewhat younger then most here. I would add White-collar professionals tend to appreciate what unions did for their parents. But do not view janitors or nurse’s aides in the same way. Instead, they tend to focus on the many things that are wrong with unions, exemplified these days by the pensions of public service employees that are breaking the backs of many cities and states.
