Employment without a union trumps being a union-choosing unemployed dipshit.
How long are you going to be employed with one employer anyway?
Might as well give it a shot.

There are industries that are unhampered by unions and because of it employees reap the rewards.
Energy is one. One year my pay increased TWICE due to supply and demand. Would not have happened with a union present.
This is not the middle of the dirtiest part of the industrial revolution and six year olds are not working in and around dangerous machinery. Unions really have no place except to take their cut from the action.
How much of your pay increases went towards inflation? You've got to remember that with the increasing cost of living, the same pay is effectively a wage decrease. Employers seem to forget this but unions remember.
Perhaps your pay was too low when you started?
Most workers are not in positions like yours and must fight for every increase and COLA. Attempting this on your own is insane.

The stupid thing is that workers don't want to organise. They think that they can negotiate better alone against a team of management professionals who have a vast built-in advantage.
They're insane.

. said: unions were necessary at one time, about a century ago. They, along with their liberal nanny state parents, have destroyed America's auto industry and education system.
Liberals and unions cannot compete, have no desire to compete, and just want a guaranteed cradle to grave nanny state and, like liberal faggots, cannot participate in hones debate, negotiation or compromise with anyone they disagree with. They are corrupt, useless, and use fear and intimidation to retain their power.
As Wisconsin is demonstrating, they need to die.
Why should we have to compete for survival? What kind of bullshit society is that?
I want a good living for all workers.
You want a "fuck everybody" race-to-the-bottom.

1. People won't be able to move freely due to security reasons.
2. Moving around that much takes MONEY, which means the poor have to stay put anyway.
Are you really this goddam fucking asshole dumb in real life? Or are you trolling?
What? That's bullshit.
People from first world countries "move" somewhat freely today, it's just that they can't reside or work in other countries for economic reasons. The Dutch don't keep me out for security reasons, they do so for economic ones.
It takes a bit of money to move, but not that much. I don't really care about the poor anyway.
I just think this initiative would significantly improve the quality of life for millions of people who want to change countries for whatever reason. It works well in the EU (their mistake was letting the Poles & Bulgarians move about too soon).

No, I mean application forms on websites. Most big Canadian employers use outsourced employment screening systems like Oracle Taleo and Workopolis which require the completion of such a form.

If there was a union then I wouldn't have to negotiate. It would all be done for me. Nice and cleanly with no bullshit.

No government unions should be allowed.
Unions are crooked now and should not be allowed to participate in any political area. The whole idea of unions formed together is just stupid. If You owned a car company, would you want your employees to be in a union with your competitors? It has been corrupted by thugs.
You do not have a right to work someplace. If you're not happy, leave.
Unions in Germany seem to work because they are not as crooked and have loyalty to their employees.
American unions suck.
Well we can have good unions then.

Still a bit leery of unions-the knife cuts both ways and often than not you get lazy workers who know how much they do the minimum raises and promotions are still coming.
Look at Detroit and others for examples of where greedy unions kill productivity and profits.
The current system of "no raises, not even COLA" is not good enough.
I'm actually reading a book about the Legacy Three by a right-wingnut, Paul Ingrassia, called "Crash Course", and even he admits that it was mostly management's fault.
