Can you outlaw unions without restrictive trade regulations against private organizations? - Scott Monster - 11-18-2012 01:05 PM
Can you ban collective bargaining without directly intervening in the free trade economy?

Public or Private, They're both of private formation.

Who wants to outlaw unions (other than the completely unjustified public sector unions)?
- RIcky - 11-18-2012 01:14 PM
No. Good question.
Unions have the right to exist because of the Constitution, some conservatives just think that their federally protected powers are redundant.

Doesn't restrictive trade presently favor unions?

Odd how lefties keep pretending there's no difference between Public and Private sector unions.
edit: so now you're gonna pretend you don't know who pays public sector union members..ok.

You can't ban unions period.
What are you going to have, company goons smashing up meetings and arresting people?

Ask the communists, they ended up eliminating unions.
Unions exist to represent workers so they have a voice at the table. So they aren't left to the none-too-tender mercy of the management teams who have lawyers on staff.
It so uneven to tell workers they have no say in what happens to them, what their pay will be.
What their work rules are.
No, you can't make unions give up one of the basic reasons they exist without ending the usefulness of unions. And that will intervene in free trade, and in the right of people to associate with those they want to associate with.
Public sector unions aren't to blame for what's happened to the states, no one forced the governors to sign agreements, if the market hadn't tanked and the politicians had put that money into accounts as they knew they had to, there wouldn't be a problem and unions wouldn't have been vilified as they were.
Its like the raid on Social security, its not the fund's fault that they are going broke in a number of years, its the fault of the politicians for not funding the pensions properly because they didn't want to raise taxes when it was needed, and they got caught when the market went down.
Rather than blame themselves, they blamed the unions, as if the unions were the only ones to sign the agreements.
