There is truth to what he is saying. Unions were demonised in the US by big money interests and the politicians serving them, and the presence of unions has been crippled compared to other first world countries over the last 50-60 years.

Here's a map showing this declining union membership from 1964-2014: https://www.npr.org/section...

It's down to just 10.8% of workers being in a union in the US now. Compared to many other first world countries, that's absolutely abysmal.

Approval of unions in the US is rising but a lot of Americans were brainwashed to hate unions, and even have talking points ready as to why they hate them. To an outsider, it's bizarre.

Brainwashed? Or maybe people just have differing opinions and experiences regarding unions?

My opinion - I don't like unions. Sorry, I don't. I think they have too much power and have personally had terrible experiences with them.

I don't need them representing me and taking money from my paycheck. I've been to school, graduated from university, have a great job and healthcare cause I'm good at what I do.

And I especially don't like how people must pay dues in certain professions even if they don't want to be in an union (ex teachers). How is that fair?

Anyways, If you support unions, ok. But just cause someone disagrees that doesn't mean they're "brainwashed".

Besides, I'm sure you have your talking points laid out as well.

they are....

Exactly brother. 22yrs union strong.

I don’t know seeing how the teachers union is pretty much refusing to work and protecting crappy employees I can see how people hate unions

Or look at it this way.
No matter how much more work you do, you don't get compensated for it.

Just now tag capitalism to it.
You're out of your depth and should probably stop talking.

People who value a company over the workers will always baffle me. At least those who aren't buying their third vacation home.

That's lie 🤥

What union are you in? My buddy works for Kellogg’s and is union. They went on strike and the next day there was a bunch of illegals doing there job yet unions are pro democrat

So you’re not on anyone’s side? Not even your own. 😅😅

I am on my side yes lol. I work though. I will work a little harder if my co-workers want to larp in the street. I will be paid accordingly though or I’ll skip. Let’s talk overtime pay. I would absolutely use the shit out of that situation lol. I’m sure some did, 100% chance. It’s why they won’t recognize it.

Not to be rude just a question. If you are on your own side would that mean you would throw friends and family under the bus for your own gain or are they part of your side?

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
