It does NOT at all create more spending, that`s silly!. All costs of doing business are passed on to the customers. Union wages mean high prices. So, customers have less money, and THEY spend less, the equal amount you claim unions spend MORE! It is just balanced out. More to union,? equal amount less to customer. Why would anyone want to give more money to a union guy? Deny your own family? Hell no! Why do you think UAW is down from 1.5 million members, to under 400,000? People buy foreign.

I live in Virginia a RIGHT TO WORK state...I am a nurse and every person who has tried to organize is fired....I used to live in RI and belonged to the SEIU 1199...It is/was a very strong union, that protected the workers NOT the employers. Most people here are afraid to try for fear of being fired...How can? this law be changed??????
By: MrPorterhouse. on 17 May 12, 20:48:05
So, as a conservative? person (one that can think for himself) why must I be FORCED to join a union? Unions simply "Re-Distribute" a workers wealth and pay for the Democrats platform, plain and simple. Without 99.9% of the money from? the Unions and the spin from the 99.9% Liberal media behind them, the Democrats would not stand a chance at any election based on FACTS. Forced anything is NOT Freedom. Wake up America!!!!

@Wrenchbender412i they do drag the economy as a whole. (1) They manipulate the free market labor price by charging the max wage vs the equilibrium wage, thus reducing the demand for labor. That hurts people trying to find a job. (2) If the tax payer or the business have more money by paying people less the demand for inputs such as? steel goes up and guys who run those industrys?
By: Punz14. on 12 Apr 12, 15:07:30
Unions create higher wages, which in turn creates more spending. ? Not to mention the benefits!
By: Wrenchbender412i. on 18 Mar 12, 17:35:47
@compa008 Unions do not drag an economy down. Look at countries with highly unionized workforces like Germany, Japan, and Brazil. They are part of the free market just like management that engages in price fixing and market manipulation through futures contracts and margin buying. They? help economies by levelling the playing field between labor and capital. If we deunionize every single industry our economy will continue it's collapse because Americans will have no purchasing power.

coompa008 Too bad! we shed blood to get a fair shake! all jobs should have collective voices for the workers-you just happen not to be in a union? too bad! Christ gave good example in the parable of the worker's in the vineyard-'Take the agreed upon wage and do not envy he who worked less' Shame on you siding with the boss's! wait until all unions are gone and you start 60 hour work weeks again-envious suckers

I retired from the service in 1994 and have worked in the electrical trade since then. I live in a right to work state, Florida. If anyone thinks that a right to work state is fair and good for the working? class, your in for a serious reality check. Yes, some unionized trades may have gone too far with some of their demands, but just wait till the right to work crap kicks in. You'll see. I won't have to explain, you will experience it. Good luck people, prepare yourselves for the inevitable.

Here in Cali, a Democratic Governor like Brown himself is going against unions for the same reasons Republicans are opposed to it: unionized workers demanding higher salaries for nothing, retiring younger than the average person, them engaging in poorer quality work, not willing to be aware of their conduct in the? workplace, seeking special handouts, them wanting to establish their own rules, and jeoparding others chances of having it fair in the workplace.
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 18:08:28
Let me give you a reality check about the ability of? union to "manipulate free market wages". My dad was a miner back in the 70s and 80s, at the time ore prices were at all time highs, even good by todays stanards. And yet my dad still had to fight like hell every couple years at contract time for a $.25 raise. The company was making record profits, but they still didn't wanna give a measely quarter an hour. It's a different picture than the one you painted eh?
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 17:55:19
Are you saying that you're skill level is anywhere near to mine? Are you saying that you can do my job? I hate to be the one to break this to you, but working on a farm as a kid doesn't exactly give you the skills to work on coal fired/Nuclear power plants. If it did every farm raised kid in this country would be a skilled craftsman. If you took your job to move up then why are you crying? about it?
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 17:51:44
Are you telling me that the 10% of the US workforce that is Union is dragging? down/holding back the whole American economy? You gonna blame all the non union jobs going overseas on Unions too?
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 17:51:25
You work at a bank, paper cuts are your biggest danger.lol. I walk steel 200ft in the air, I climb like a monkey with 70 lbs of tools on my harness. You've never known what? is like to actually put your life on the line have you. If your job is so critical and takes so much skill why do they pay you so little? What exactly do you do at that bank that is so special?
By: compa008. on 01 Mar 12, 13:58:39
You think this is selfishness? Don't you think it's selfishness that you make 10-40% more income to that of people of similar skill level? Not because your better, but because your union bullies non-union workers and business? Maybe it's all the hard work and low pay growing up that made? me immune to this bullshit commonly brought up by unions. I want the economy to boom, when it does that every industry will improve.
By: compa008. on 01 Mar 12, 13:53:53
The problem is that unions drag an economy down. They manipulate free? market wages/labor.....cartels do the same thing. They hurt economies. If we deunionized every single industry our economy would be booming because companies and the US would be more competitive.
By: compa008. on 01 Mar 12, 13:51:18
Obviously not lol. I work at the bank because I want to move up in? that field. You start from the bottom and work up. We could compared the risks of each job (yes there are risks), but that's retarded. I could make that money back on the family farm, hell there is no child labor laws protecting farm children when I was growing up so don't give me this 110 degree stuff, they know the risk.
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 05:15:36
I do have one question that I think is important for you to answer. How does it benefit you to drag down another man who works hard for his pay? Do you realize how selfish this makes you? You could go out and get a better job, you're skilled, you said so yourself. But you haven't, have you? What a paradox.lol. I only wish you? worked in KS or MO so I could come in and you and your college diploma could serve me. ;)
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 04:21:34
No I think I get your point. You wanna work 9-5 in a bank in a perfectly safe, and comfortable environment and make as much as a man working in 110 degrees on a road crew with death staring him into the face as dumbass drivers fly by at 70 mph. And you think that your college degree entitles you to it. You can't do his job or else you'd be doing it. No more? than you could do my job. Honestly, if you could be making $2,000 a week (clear money) right now you would be doin it.
By: compa008. on 01 Mar 12, 02:57:06
You obviously are not getting the point. You've taken the time to educate yourself and you've become successful.? I'm not bashing that. I'm upset that there are others (not yourself) that have absolutely no trade skills or very little and are making more money than me. I can do their job, but they can't do mine. The job market is tough out there. The point is that these employers can hire more labor by reducing their wages on employees. I have the utmost respect for people of trade skills. :-)
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 01:27:26
Yea and saw a nonunion company in KS miss a critical deadline on a baghouse tie in by a month and cost the customer millions of dollars, so it goes both ways. Guess who they called for the next baghouse, Union Boilermakers. Yea I've met alot of locals like you, they wanna make my wages but they don't wanna make the? sacrifices I make to get them. So they sit on there butt with their crappy 9-5 job so they can be home every night. Like I said, get off your butt or quit crying.
By: nktank84. on 01 Mar 12, 01:20:42
That's funny because every "out of date" trade union has apprenticeship programs that pair real life on the job training with classroom schooling. Unfortunately people like you are busy trying to destroy us because you're pissed off that somebody without a college degree makes twice what you make. If you got skills why don't you get off your? butt and get a better job, nobody is forcing you to work a crappy job at a bank. OR MAYBE YOU GUYS SHOULD ORGANIZE!
By: compa008. on 01 Mar 12, 01:15:28
Also many trade skills do not have to be unionized to create opportunities. Especially in the electrician industry; unions have bullied and? vandalized non-union businesses into becoming unionized. My grandfathers shop is still non-unionized to this day and because they aren't they can attract some of the best electricians around and they make damn good money. They grew 2-3x times faster than the unionized business and employed more workers for their size and get more business.
