The Great Union-Busting Thread

[dps]

Unions are the last bulwark against exploitation in our capitalist society. 

Lol.  In many cases, the union leaders are the exploiters.

Actually, the labor movement in Wisconsin spawned worker's compensation, unemployment compensation, the 8 hour work day, and the 40 hour work week.  Only took 7 labor deaths shot by state militiamen in 1886 to give you your Saturday off.

Ungrateful fucks.

In the 21st century I'm supposed to support an institution that did something relevant for me in the 19th century?

Where would you be without slave trade, you ingrate?

If unions were still as large as they used to be, garbon wouldn't be able to get a job.

And slavery was eventually put off to pasture. It's existence now would certainly harm me.

That doesn't sound like an anti-union statement.

lol, 650,000+ dead a "pasture".

Oh that war that was started because Lincoln wanted to free all the slaves?

[DGuller]

IT WAS ABOUT STATE RIGHTS!

After a while, yes.

The problem with Wisconsinites is that they think small.  By undoing 50 years of civil rights all they've accomplished is the need to build twice as many lavatories and drinking fountains.  If they undid 150 years of civil rights they could kidnap black people and man the civil service with slave labor.

Everyone alive in 1886 is dead today.  There is noone left to be grateful to.

I wonder what kinds of hours we would be working now if it weren't for the labor unions.

[MadImmortalMan]

I think we should standardize the 3-day weekend.

Something very similar to what we're working now.  Henry Ford supported a 40-hour workweek without being whined at by unions.
