[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 930387, member: 198"] Its highly arrogant to think that unionization should be the standard for everyone just because they work in a union shop Sometimes they do prevent them from earning a living. When they keep asking for more, and more, and more to the point where the company that employs the people they represent has to close or move over seas because they can't afford to compete anymore. The choice of whether or not someone wants to work in a nonunion workplace is a personal one and [B]NOT[/B] based on whether they feel obligated to join a union. Declines occur because the majority of Americans don't want or feel the need for unions. Not because of RTW laws. There are a small handful of jobs now that need unions nowadays. If that weren't true than the membership would not be declining in RTW states. Sure....there would still be free loaders but membership would be much, much higher. The fact is that the unions kind of killed themselves. In the early years they fought and were able to get labor laws that are still on the books today. They paved the way for things that are common practice today in any workplace. In most environments they've basically outlived their usefulness and aren't needed. Now they are just political action committees that tend to ask for too much from employers and give too much to political campaigns. If unions were truly needed on the scale that some would seem to think then membership wouldn't be declining. The standard of pay and benefits should be determined by the free market system. Not unions. Competition and service (service is the only reason we are preferred over FedEx) play a part there as well. Americanns aren't indentured servants simply for not wanting union representation. If so, I guess that the vast majority of Americans are Koop-aid drinking servants. That seems kind of odd though. To be indentured servants, yet, have the highest standard of living of any country in the world whether they are union or not. Hmmmm...... [/QUOTE]
