Oddbean new post about login | logout Unions are entirely disingenuous. They're the first ones to avail themselves of some trickle-down benefit to their ministry. They'll opine that everyone else's wages will rise if they get theirs. It's funny that unions stop caring if anyone got theirs after they are satisfied. I've never heard of unions lifting a finger for non-union people.
@669563d8 as someone who has both been in a union, and has had to deal with them as a member of “management”, Unions are the ultimate pyramid scheme.
@669563d8 They don't even lift a finger for their own members. All of us at my work signed a letter saying we wanted out of our union because they didn't represent us, didn't want us in leadership, and were so co-opted by management that they only served to give up anything management wanted us to for nothing in return. We were told we were welcome to seek employment elsewhere; they "owned" our positions.
