No no unions are a good thing other wise teachers would not have any rights or actual money to live with.
Unions tend to argue on behalf of the person they are representing.

Private: I was "A threat to himself, those around him, and society itself" because I was different and when a teacher asked me to bring in pieces of dark art I had made I did, and a Yankee priest saw them and told me that I was going to burn in hell. Well, 3 weeks later DHS told this bitch that I showed nothing that would validate her claims and that she had no right to expell me, and was forced to take me back in.

Well that too, but were a social democrocy so that has no relevance. I'm anti union because when my brother needed them they fucked him over, when the ship yard ttied to save money and didnt agree to the Unions increas in pay (already well past 20 an hour) they shut down the whole damn yard, and when Michigan used to be a good state, they ruined the industry with union control and ruined the lives of Michiganders and there for ruined the lives of large portions of my family. Not to mention the threats of violence against people and the actual violence inflicted on people who were against the unions or tried to go agains their union.

That's...so...stupid. If I went to that private school, I'd probably be kicked out in the first week.

And thats coming from someone who was a hardcore Marxist Communist for years before I discovered reality.

And, dude, a friend of mine beat a guy half-unconscious in middle school and got sent to juvie. He came back a year later.

[Cronislee]

Are you sure it was solely the unions fault? or just your brothers opinion?
And it seems that the union was working for them asking for a pay increase and the ship yard could not meet the demands. The recession has hit a lot of places hard. it could have simply went out of business.

It was the union who chose not to help him. The Unions job is to protect the right of the worker, not demand higher and higher wages under the threat of strike or riot everytime a new ship contract comes up.

[Poggio]

In what way did they choose not to help him? Because it seems to me they were trying to help him. The cost of living and inflation has gone up and so has minimum wage. And how is not helping him resulting in their fault that the place closed. I fail to see the connection honestly. It sounds as though your brother and you needed a scape goat and the union is it.
