What are worker unions, and why is there opposition?
In: Economics
If your boss treats you poorly or underpays you and you threaten to quit, he’ll just fire you. A single worker is easy to replace. If everyone threatens to quit, no work can be done, boss can’t make any money. Now he has to negotiate. That’s what a union is for.
Opposition comes from the bosses, propaganda from the bosses, people that believe the propoganda, and people that don’t understand that the little they pay in union dues is more than made up for by the higher wages and better benefits being in a union typically gives you.
