    I would argue they are. My reasoning for this argument would be pointing at the history of the working class.

    What is your reasoning for saying they are not?

      Corporations wouldn’t fight unions so hard (historically trying to kill their members) if unions weren’t both effective and a threat to their power and wealth. They really, REALLY do not want us to unionize.

        I read an article this week about how the Kinks were black listed from playing in the US in the mid to late 1960s because they pissed off someone involved with the stage/theater workers union. It was wild to me that a union could hold so much sway over commercial operations in the US.

      Low pay for one. They start you low even if you have experience. You lose the ability to negotiate your pay or promotions.

        This kind of bullshit generalization leads me to believe this conversation wouldn’t go very far. I’ll stop here. Cheers.

          lol. Sounds like a cop out because you have no counter argument. Not a surprise
