What's your beef with a union?

Mostly the laziness, and the greed, and the hypocrisy, and the beaurocracy, and the extortion, and the inability to fire underperformers, and the inability to be promoted based on performance, and the nepotism.
Other than those things...I guess they're ok...

WOW! It's sure great to know that " laziness, and the greed, and the hypocrisy, and the beaurocracy, and the extortion, and the inability to fire underperformers, and the inability to be promoted based on performance, and the nepotism." can all be eliminated by ending Unions, Who knew? /s

Fair point....but with unions that behavior is protected. In the private sector there are actually consequences

I'd wager you've formed this opinion solely through 2nd or 3rd hand anecdotal evidence rather than actual facts. There are certainly good and bad unions, just like anything else.
I'd argue the ability to collectively bargain is extremely valuable to the working class that has somehow been convinced otherwise. I'd even go as far as to say unions are the reason we don't have sweat shops in America anymore.

No this opinion comes from first hand knowledge of dealing with the ILA on the port, and having friends who have been with Boeing and moved here from Washington State. Also some second and third hand knowledge too.
I see the good it it in theory but yet I can see the good in the theory of socialism too. That don't mean it works the way it should in theory

I was in a group that tried to unionize a company and put on a blacklist when the vote failed. I eventually left and began working on the management side. Although I never was a card carrying union member, I worked for over 25 years with a company that had a strong union and had negotiated many good things. The best part, retirement, carried over to management and now affords me a comfortable living.
Through the years, there were a lot of head shakers as how this person kept their job but the biggest issue was that management didn't follow the union processes for discipline. When the senior level turned over, the processes were followed and things were cleaned up considerably. The key was the documentation of their discipline issues in their work history. The union can't argue when their poor performance is documented in their personnel files and the individual had been represented by the union during the HR meeting. That was the written warning, then further offenses went to 1 day off with no pay, then 5 days off with no pay, and finally, termination. You wouldn't believe how a worker's performance will turn positive after that one day off without pay.
