My good friend had an engineering firm in Anchorage with about a dozen employees. The day after they unionized he shut the company down.
He had no problem finding new employees when he started his new firm about a week later.

Good luck running a successful business with scabs.
Try junkies next time. They have more character.

He’s retired now. Did quite well for himself.
What I failed to mention was that half those employees came crawling back. He only took back four. It was the perfect opportunity for him to clean house.
 
Unions are created by bad businesses. The fact is owners will maximize profits at the expense of employees. They will and have since industry started, abused employees and cheated them. One employee cannot stand up to a company. You are replaceable. All the employees walking out teaches them who makes their profits.
The Triangle shirt company disaster sparked unions in America. They had lots of young girls making shirts and they chained the doors to make sure they did not step out for a break. Then a fire started killing many. https://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-century-us/triangle-shirtwaist-fire
My grandfather came to America and was a coal miner. He mined in Pa. and then Colorado. The miners were being horribly mistreated. When they started a union the company hired goons to beat them and shoot them. The union organizers were in a church for a meeting. The doors were barred and the building was set on fire.
In Detroit, Ford motor created a mafia type police force to "keep organizers in line'. They were beaten and killed. The workers had to battle for decent treatment.

This world is definitely diminished because people who so genuinely deserved a life threatening beating haven't gotten one yet.

I don't think that there's any substantial moral difference between child molesters and anti-union people.
I hate them both equally,
but the latter are doing even more damage to our culture than the former
because not enough people understand how despicable they are.

You obviously never had a business, much less employees.
That’s the top of the food chain which you’ve never come close to so I can understand why you have zero understanding, being someone who’s several notches below that.
I’m not saying all unions are bad just giving an example of how they can do more harm to those they’re supposedly trying to help.

Yep having employees sucks I can't imagine how bad it would suck to have unionized employees. I paid mine well and contributed to 401K for them to ensure retention. But having employees in general is a pain in the ass.

The greatest blessing you've experience in your life, anonymoose, is that your contact in life with me occurred anonymously over the internet.
I'm sure that you don't realize that, but trust me...it's profoundly true in a way you probably can't understand.

Answer anyway that you choose, but I'm putting you on ignore and won't see it.

Not at all. As a small business and being the owner/manager/HR/CFO/etc. his hands were already completely tied. He simply didn’t have the time to deal,with some outside union boss/thug in any labor negotiations that come up annually. He was already paying his employees better than union anyway.
Nope, just another example of how unions can backfire on their members.
Alaska is an “at will” state. Unionization would have negated that according to my buddy.
As a former small business owner myself I can’t tell you how well that streamlines getting rid of shit employees that are a drain on the business.

Yep shit employees lean on the Union to keep a job. Unions encourage poor work ethics.

My wife works at a construction supply company that has lots of truck drivers, all teamsters.
They have to hire them through the teamsters from what I understand. A new one showed up first day on the job , in the morning, drunk and they had to call a taxi to send him back to the union hall.
Teamster thugs sent the same guy several months later for a job.
:truestory: (according to my wife.)

More accurately, the internet allows pathetic idiots like you to express psychotic opinions publicly and anonymously.
Time to put you back on ignore, Breakdown Lane.
You've outlived your tiny entertainment value.

If unions are so great then no coercion to join a union would be necessary. Like I said Unions are like religion. If either are good people would naturally want to join.

^ Perfect example of why union people are referred to as thugs by the general population. Because most are. Basically violent domestic terrorists much like antifa or BLM.
