Comment on Unionbusters (1986)parent

Comments

I'm definitely in favor of breaking up the *capitalists*. I don't see why we should let a small group of people hold the whole economy hostage just to enrich themselves.

See what I did there?

The hostility to unions on this forum comes near exclusively from American posters, who coincidentally, have very poor workers rights compared to anywhere in the UK/EU/EEA.

Unions provide a balance of power to employers. The made our work places safer, gave us holidays and fair pay.

We are writing these comments on a discussion site created to serve the interests of a prominent private equity firm.

Perhaps we should realize how relevant that fact is to what we read here.
