  Yes. Most people believe anything if you tell them often enough.

  Yes. I hear people shit on unions every now and again, saying the same bs you hear on anti union propaganda.

    Thats true, but theirs just as much repeated garbage on the other side. People dont think for themselves anymore.

      Other side of what?

  Depends on the union. Sometimes they are just there as a mouthpiece for management. Sometimes they fight for worker’s rights.

    What union doesn’t elect their union leadership?

      Well some stewards are prone to bribing, special treatment by MGMT to turn a blind eye to certain things or back off. Others are competent, but maybe too busy for you. Others are elected because they’re popular or whatever, but as a steward they’re not knowledgeable or brave or effective. There’s lots of ways a union steward can go awry.

        And lots of ways that a union steward can go right?

    but like, in a country that isnt run by companys as hard as usa, the latter is the default. nothing more nothing less. Are unions so busted in america even they cant help but filled with corruption?

      It depends on the industry and honestly I’d be surprised if some unions in your country are not similar or worse. I’m in Chicago, which is one of the country’s biggest union strongholds, and construction unions here are often shitty and corrupt. Unions will bully and fight dirty against competing companies, sometimes even getting in spats between local chapters

        if such a thing is present in my countries unions is so minuscule that its inconsequential, but if fairly confident (no country is perfect but you get my point) my countries isnt even close to whatever hellhole usa unions are

  these probably don’t change any minds, but unions in general have been so stigmatized they they’re probably reinforcing the views of a fair number of people.
