re: #151 Locker

How far out in left field do you have to go for this shit? So every Union boss is lying about caring about the jobs of their Union members and is REALLY concerned with… what? How does this fantastic tale of yours conclude?

Yeah Aceofwhat’s logic doesn’t really compute. See, unions are only able to exist so long as they have members paying dues. And for members to pay dues, the members need jobs. Therefore the union above all ELSE stands to benefit from ensuring that its members have jobs.

Now, if you want to argue that the unions don’t care if any actual work is done by their members, fine. If you want to argue that the unions are willing to place the value of their members jobs above the value of the company continuing to function, fine. If you want to argue that unions protect incompetent workers who should be fired, at the expense of workers who are more qualified but remain unemployed, fine.

But the one argument you just can’t make without looking stupid is that unions don’t care about keeping their members jobs.
