Volkswagen workers in Tennessee vote to join UAW

[Never Made it to Graceland]

You'd have to be legitimately brain dead to argue against unions, since they are largely the reason the middle class American dream ever existed, and their coordinated destruction a big part of why the latter has disappeared.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Just for reference only 10% of Americans are apart of a union, but sure they’re the ones with all the power in economic policy…

I never said the unions had all the power in economic policy. I said they had undue power created by government rules and laws deliberately favoring them.

That's to prevent worker uprisings, starvation, poverty, and mass shootings.

Corporations actually are not all that humane and giving if left to their own devices as seen in the late 19th century.

Until he finds employment and has to support himself, he will not appreciate the impact unions had on creating many of the benefits for workers we take for granted today, such as the 40 hour work week, holidays, injury compensation, etc. There's a reason right wing pundits and paid corporate shills have been pushing the anti-union narrative for the last few decades (they always were, but not as effectively.) Fortunately it looks like the anti-union environment in the United States (which is why we have one of the worst income inequality situations in the entire world) is finally starting to turn.

Unions didn't create any of those things. And unions are still declining, so no.

Well this sure did assuage my previous perception of you as a historically illiterate, low-effort troll.
