Unions?

3•Glibly•1h ago
Why are there so many young people who hate on unions also bewildered as to why they can't find well paying jobs and buy houses like their parents did?

It's difficult to even have a conversation about unions due to people having very different perceptions and/or feelings about unionism.

When a corporation extracts surplus value from a laborer so the company gets its dues (so the execs can get a yacht) it's good

When a union extracts some dues from laborers to be able to organize the union and payout partial wages during a strike giving workers a sliver of power with which to negotiate with for a more fair share of the profits taken by those same execs (or more reasonable working conditions) it's bad.

Any job is a good job with a living wage and labor protections. That’s what unions are for. It’s whether workers get the benefits now, or some time in the future as the working age population cohort shrinks due to structural demographics, creating persistent labor shortages far into the future increasing labor bargaining power [1].

All you can do is keep moving the ball forward evangelizing for organizing and labor rights as cohort turnover continues. It’s a sales and marketing problem fundamentally, communicating the value proposition.

If young people won’t organize, and yet are still unhappy with lack of living wages, it leaves few options for them. But, this also reinforces the fertility rate decline curve, which more rapidly pulls forward improved labor power through a faster shrinking working age population cohort.
