In blow to freedom, Democrats in Michigan repeal Right-to-work

Unions did NONE of that. Health insurance was born out of WW 2 wage and price controls as an incentive to hire when companies couldn't pay higher wages. Paid vacation is a function of the same thing. Paid holidays came about because of government setting holidays. Safer working conditions are a mostly Republican thing. Nixon instituted OSHA and MSHA Unions didn't do shit towards those things.

If things are more comfortable in a self-contrived dream world
than in the world of reality, that's normal.

We contrive dream worlds because reality falls short of what we'd like.

You, TAG, contrive dystopian dream worlds far worse than reality.
That's where you appear to be happiest.

Not your fault, of course. You're genetically damaged, and you're not alone. Too many Americans obviously are.

Actually, though, it's in the real world where I recognize how unions have benefited me.
In my contrived dream world, they'd be far more powerful than they are today.

If it were up to you, OSHA wouldn't exist and kids would still be working.
 
Labor unions fought for better wages, reasonable hours and safer working conditions. The labor movement led efforts to stop child labor, give health benefits and provide aid to workers who were injured or retired.

Unions have been so corrupt for so long that I am opposed to most efforts to force people to give them money. It pains me to come to this point.

Yes they did but they have outlived their usefulness.

Yes. Yes they do. Because they are encouraged to increase profits by offshoring labor.

trump had a chance to fulfill one of his campaign lies when he cut taxes on billionaires. He could have told corporations that manufacture here that they will pay no tax, while those who offshore pay higher taxes.

He didn't. He just made it so that most corporations pay nothing in taxes. Why would they bring jobs back here?

Again who cares they dump this country, we dump them by taking away this countries market. If they go they have to market their product in some other country.. No business will ever leave. Screw them. Tell me what American company can lose this market and survive , Sure there are a couple, maybe 1 or 2 out of 100, they won't be missed. Show these pigs the door.

First you need to get rid of Manchin and Sinema.

What are the odds of that happening?

This doesn't need to be done tomorrow, we will be in a position soon to be able to do just that and it is the type of thing that has to have major Promotion and push by the public to have it happen. Sinema is all but gone , and Manchin can be over-ridden by one more democrat.

You want to be raped, get rid of unions and regulation and it will go back to what it was exactly before unions and regulations. Let business have free rain , is possibly the moist stupid ignorant thing you could do. Let them decide , they will eat our children for their bottom line , We know exactly what they would do by exactly what they did when they could do what they wanted. When they were allowed to control these things. Capitalism is the only way but it can be destroyed if big b takes control. Even Adam Smith, this countries first economist, made that point clear .

A list that is mostly propaganda and lies. Unions have done almost nothing for workers beyond forcing employers to provide higher wages.

Nothing but gaslighting in the form of a red herring argument. Where did I state any of that? OSHA exists because of Republicans. The EPA exists because of Republicans. Democrats and the Left have take and corrupted both agencies into bureaucratic zero tolerance monsters.

Unions aren't a third party, Fredo, to be accountable to anybody.

Unions ARE the workers--organized.

You remind me of those who claim to respect teachers but hate the teachers unions--a flat out impossibility.
