>But, I’m neither a historian nor an economist. I’m an entrepreneur, so I’m not going to wax on about the historical imperative of unions and why they do or don’t serve a role in our modern economy. I will, however, tell you what I know, and I know about starting and growing businesses.
I don't think we need much explanation on why an entrepreneur would prefer to dictate terms rather than negotiate with an organized workforce.
>I believe unions promote a corrosive us-against-them dynamic that destroys the esprit de corps businesses need to succeed.
Might you be mistaking the thrill of total obesiance for esprit de corps? You wouldn't be the first to...
>That’s why the type of company that interests me is one where ownership and the employees are truly in it together, without interference from a third-party union that has its own agenda and priorities.
Um, that nefarious third party agenda is the organized voice of your employees. Heck, we all appreciate being able to dictate terms, but not all of us are intellectually dishonest enough to come up with spin like that.
>It is my observation that unions exert efforts that tend to destroy the Free Enterprise system.
You haven't mentioned a single observation, just breathless, self-serving opinion. Were the shoe on the other foot, I'd expect to see you writing for Pravda.
*edit: I'm beside myself with that Pravda comment. JR posted this literally today: "Attacks on President Trump Show the Political Class Has Learned Nothing" http://blog.joericketts.com/?p=581
