  No, it’s actually a very very very bad thing, as is the capitalist agenda, which has been an abject failure in accomplishing any of it’s claims.

  Also, getting you to turn power over to unelected and unaccountable wealth hoarders based on nothing but their wealth is also part of the capitalist agenda.

  Aslo, fuck you for your elitist bullshit and telling people to just change jobs. Seriously…fuck you.

  Union-busting is absolutely part of the fascist agenda.

  No, it’s part of the capitalist agenda

  That’s what they just said.

  and its a good thing.

  If you’re an obscenely wealthy ghoul who profits off the suffering of everyone who has less money than you, then yes. In all other cases, absolutely the fuck not.

  If you don’t want to do your job then quit. That goes for cops, UAW workers, teachers, and more.

  So you’d be happy if all the cops, auto workers, teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc. quit? You’d rather have massive and continuous societal upheaval than workers collectively bargaining for the right to make a decent living doing their jobs? I’d rather have a functioning society, personally, and that’s why I support unions and you should too.

    Unions are labor cartels. They drive up the cost of goods and services.

      Then why does a Big Mac cost almost the same at a unionized McDonald’s in Denmark as it does at a non-unionized one in Tennessee?
