    They lead to companies being forced to keep horrible employees that cost them money

    I don’t care.

    and pay them more than they’d otherwise need to.

    Good, that’s the fucking point.

    You could have negotiated better pay for yourself

    You can’t, which is why unions have higher pay.

    Sick time shouldn’t be a thing. No one should be incentivized to call in sick, and that costs the company money

    Are you a troll, or are you genuinely this backwards?

    Posting a bunch of union propaganda doesn’t change the fact that they only serve themselves.

    My dude, this is all of the sources showing that they’re better jobs. It’s the government, corporate media, scientific research, all coming to the same conclusion. It ain’t propaganda.

      I’m 53 years old. I’ve had an equal amount of union and non union jobs. Union jobs SUCK for good workers. How to pay workers less than minimum wage? - unions! How to keep a drug addicts job so they can endanger their co-workers? -Unions.

      There’s nothing stopping unions from allowing your boss to pay you minimum while they take ‘dues’ from you. Nothing is stopping unions from being as corrupt as employers.
