Labor Unions - are you for or against it and why?

[A Theist]

We are as one on this then!

Indeed we are! Unions are the counter balance to abusive employers. I've read Void's responses and I fully understand where he's coming from, but I hope he understands our position as well. The whole purpose of the union is not tear down the employers we work for. We're just taking responsibility over our working conditions, to improve our salaries, the hours we work, our benefits packages, to have a voice in policy, job stability,...this is also a democratic process as it takes a majority of workers to vote in a union. Dues for the union I that belong to are only two hours of pay per month, a small investment for the gains we received because of the union. It's our federally protected legal right to improve our working conditions by organizing a union.
