I really don't think that the public-sector employees should be unionized.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Private unions, such as the UAW, is a choice between employees and employers. If that is what they want, then who am I to say you can't have it?
There is nothing that says unions have a God-given right to be there. We have to work at it and make ourselves relevant to every section of the workforce.
Public unions are big money.
I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies.
Now workers should have the right to join unions. But unions should not be forced upon workers. And unions should not have the power to take money our of their members' paychecks to buy the support of politicians that are favored by the union bosses.
I sometimes think that unions don't understand that we live in a free society, and people have the right to not select union representation if they don't want it.
Unions should not be lapdogs to a political party, they should be watchdogs for their members' interests.
If you don't have collective agreements between unions and employers, governments have to legislate more.
I think it's unrealistic for public-sector employees to believe that they are immune from modifications to their pay and benefit packages.
I think unionization is good public policy. I think when families secure their economic future, that's good for everyone.
