Americans are always up in arms defending capitalism. But don't you realise that in a free market labour should be allowed to work together? It is in their best interest to do so.
Unions are mandatory to join it's not a free market you can't negotiate your own pay.
Everyone in the union decides that it is in their best interest to use collective bargaining. And hearing the stories from the bottom 30% of the American workforce I can't say that they are wrong.
No, the majority of employees in a work unit make that determination. Majority will overrides the individual's contracting rights. And it is not in people's best interest to undermine the free market. It totally impoverishes people. Laws robbing people of their freedom make society poorer. The US would still have a manufacturing base if it weren't for laws subordinating employers to unions.
