UPS Fires 250 Workers For Participating In Protest

#35

I’m in a line of work that allows unions and I’m in mine. I’m very proud to be a part of it. Thanks in part to many subjective non-thinkers, unions have gotten a bad rap over the last couple of decades though I will concede that SOME of it is deserved. However, this bad rap is magnified by design in my opinion by big business to slowly eat away at the voice of the American worker.



 

Are there some bad unions and/or union bosses?  Sure.  Are there some bad employers, and/or bosses of employers? Of course.  As such, unions must remain part of our labor fabric. Without them, I fear the current income inequality gap going on in our nation will only get worse and worse. I fear a nation where the worker has little to no voice.



 

The real goal of the employer in capitalism is the get the most work out of the employee while giving the least amount of compensation possible. The real goal of the union is to get the biggest compensation for the employees with the most ideal working conditions. Neither side should ever have it their way but with unions at least there is a side, a voice, someone to draw a line in the sand and because of that, amicable mediums can be achieved.



 

I’m satisfied with the working conditions where I’m at, and I know that is thanks in major part to the concessions my union has gotten for me. If I have any problem with the system at my job is that non-union members reap the same benefits as union members get even though it is the union that goes out and fight for what we get with the bosses. I don’t see a fix for this so it is what it is.



 

Just my three cents.
