Quote:Health and safety is a big part of unions here? Saying that your union movement wasn't as strong which is why you don't have the benefits we and Europe do.

Unions here are pretty much all about gathering confiscating accepting union "dues" which is earned confiscated money from workers to give to the democrat party.  Unions do nothing for pay and/or benefits as well as health or safety stuff.

 

I can give a very good example of this.

 

The company that I work for is non-union but has a CBA.  We negotiated with the company to define wages and benefits.

 

The same company has another contract with the parent company, and they decided to go "union".  They got "perceived" higher salaries than we did, but what they didn't factor into it was the union dues that they had to pay.  It basically meant that their gross pay was higher than ours.  However, the deduction of union dues isn't tax deductible and doesn't do anything for them.  Once union dues along with all of the other taxes came out, the net take-home pay was the same.  All it does is funnel money to the unions disguised as "making more money" than anybody else in the same industry.  The fact of the matter is, an engineer working for the other arm of the company is still making the same amount that I do,. The difference is that engineer feeds money ultimately towards the democrat machine while I decide where money that I earn goes.

 

Unions are worthless.
