I’m curious to know if you think unions are bad for the economy now, after everything they/labor have accomplished for worker rights in the last century, or if it’s those very things you consider bad for the economy?

Is child labor good for the economy? Maybe short term.

Are 16 hour workdays and subsistence pay good for the economy? That doesn’t make good consumers out of the employees.

Unions exist because people were subjected to brutal conditions and it seems very unlikely to me such conditions were conducive to a healthy economy.

Whose economy are they bad for? They are bad for the rich people's economy, and good for poor/middle class folk.

Ah yes, the economy.

Sod people. Won't somebody think of the LLCs!!!

The sheer impudence of workers demanding money for their work and whining about rent.

There are shareholders over here who don't even have a megayacht to sit around on all day.
