The problem is, inherent in the idea of "people banding together to increase their wages" is the foundation of communism/socialism. You really can't separate the two.
That is, unless you believe that the workers are so well-attuned to their company's complete finances that they know what it can "afford" to pay. More likely, the workers just look at their supervisors and say "hey, I should be making what they're making" and are clueless as to market forces and why they earn what they earn.
expansion?... Affirmation!

I’ve been a member of the Teamsters, AFMSCE, every Hollywood “guild” and they are all crooks. Just look at their buildings. They put to shame any federal building. It’s really simple: the reason why you need a union is to protect you FROM GETTING FIRED.

218/67. Impeach and convict. I hope that’s what you were implying.
I never understood how a union had the right to forcefully take from me money, are they claiming ownership of me as well as my place of work?
They clim that if they negotiate a contract and you get more pay you owe them money
Union fees. Nice code words for extortion.
Good point.
Like his two sons, he would have benefited from a few years in the military. Then again, I could say that about the Romney family, the Sununu family, the Burr family, etc.

This will shut the state of Oregon down in a big way!
They even make judges pay union dues.

This won’t bring Judge Scalia back to life though!
