The great thing about choice is a bad employer will be penalized by losing great employees. Those employees are not forced to pay for union protection many do not want or need.
As for the plant in Tennessee, maybe the governor and others are correct, a union will not only help those workers, but could cost them jobs down the road.
Didn't a major union come out in support of Trump?
The real question becomes again, were union workers better off financially under Trump or under Biden? Did union workers get raises and benefits that outpaced inflation. If they did, they would be in the minority.
right because business owners are known to always do what is right for their employees. Seriously, labor laws are broken each and every day, and while individuals may have legal protections it can take years and lots of money to get justice when laws are broken.
Red states have been whittling away at worker protections for the last 30 years. Child labor laws are being gutted. In some states now, employers cannot even be mandated to provide water breaks for people working outdoors in extreme heat.
There are reasons that companies like Amazon and Starbucks are facing unionization efforts. There are reasons that a Tenneessee Volkswagon plant just voted to unionize in one of the most labor-unfriendly states in the country. I guarantee you that those reasons exists because they aren't treated right by their employers
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
