When begun, unions were useful, needed and indeed alleviated the worst conditions and gave employees self respect and dignity. Since that time, local, state and federal laws have been implemented that protect employees. Some employers may try to skirt the law, but if found, they are dealt with severely.

Unions today have outlived the majority of their usefulness and have become nothing less than a facade of their former selves. Unions have become nearly entirely corrupt to the point they survive not for the employee but for, 1. the fat-cat union bosses and 2. as a money pit for the alt-left. Unions are a major reason for the abysmal education system forced upon our children and the ever-increasing financial burden on government and government projects.

Right to work states allow employees the safety of not having to be a part of the corrupt unions to get a job and then also not be fired from a job if they are not a member of the corrupt unions.

Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as "Washington", "the District", or simply "D.C.", is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any state.

Blacks make up the highest percentage of Union membership. Hope this helps

Hell 60% of his franchisees have at least one time/wage violation in recent years. Enforcement is out the window with this bunch and those rules will be gone.

QuakerOats;1830263 wrote:Bingo. Then again it is all relative; where incomes are lower, the cost of living is also lower.


The problem we have today is that the imputed income of all government handouts is about on par with average household income, so there is no incentive to get a job and be productive. The liberal answer is not to fix that, but rather to go on nationwide rants to increase minimum wage to $15-$20 (which incidentally is just the impetus to then have all wages rise by ridiculous amounts) in order that work becomes equal to, or greater than, welfare in value.

This could be fixed in a matter a hours if we had elected officials that had the balls to do it.

Those laws and on the books because of the efforts of union and there supporters that elected the people who were sympathetic to workers. And to the unions' lobbying efforts that pushed them through the various legislative bodies. What we have seen for years is an effort to undermine those protections by corporations, their paid shills and their unwitting dupes. They work hard to push things back to longer work days, for less pay and in more dangerous conditions. Right to work is a major part of that effort.

That is priceless!

Unfortunately, those elected officials sympathetic to employees, (and who worked with the unions), created such an astronomically corrupt system, (with each inside each other's pockets), that the employees are left with nothing but fat-cat union officials getting rich walking in goose-step with an alt-left political party.

To continue their support of the corrupt union-alt left cabal would mean that they, the employees, would be nothing more than unwitting dupes.

When there is no other place to go, it is no wonder that employees are choosing to abandon their once-needed union and leftist political leaders for a political party led by someone promising to help make them great again!

Perhaps this could go hand-in-hand with the plan to split California into 5 states, 3-4 being conservative, and the balance for the radical liberal nutcases.
