While I strongly disagree I atleast want to thank you partially for atleast using the arguement of effects of unionizing on employees and not the expected and outrageous arguement of what it does for buisness bottom line or price effects on customers (The dumbest arguement ever against raising the minimum wage)
While I agree with (If you do not perform you ought to be fired) this is getting more and more not the case with firings these days. Sadly even in unionized shops. Where a cook is fired for having to stay home sick while a Cashier is kept on despite theft of company resources because she has a hot ass or the guy is a paintball buddy.
With a union in place there is atleast a chance that the Cashier's actions will be noted to higher ups that will step in with an investigation. This happens less and less in nonunion shops where one just has to leave and hear about next month how the cashier was finally fired and jailed after permanantly damaging the buisness.
BTW anyone being UAW up as an example is ruining their arguement. The auto crisis happened because the companies failed to modernize and be able to pay the legacy costs. There was some sillyness in the contract but none of it was killer compared to making SUVs when the market wanted migh MPG cheap hybrids.
Unions are NOT perfect but their slowing has cost the economy so much. And removed so much productivity and motivation. This going into law will SLOWLY start the process back towards growth. However, I do not plan to think all will be solved when it is signed into law. We MUST also give companies the resources they need to utilize the growth of motivation. Solar Power
