Stanky posted:Nope, from my experience, unions promote shoddy work, they protect people who should be given one 'shape up or ship out' before they're fired and they don't really improve the economy when the place shuts down. I will say one thing, a few years after I left that place; a lot of folks didn't need to reincarnate when karma came calling. At least everyone had someone they could talk to in the unemployment office.
I will give craft unions some respect, from my experience more than half of the union halls and members act like the old European guilds and craftsmen. Someone doing shoddy work or loafing often had another union member in his face.

Yep, totally agree! That's why many union jobs were replaced by robots which seems to be why the quality of US products has increased. I never have heard of a robot coming to work drunk or strung out on drugs.
Ok...You're double talking yourself. You can't believe a decrease in union workmanship equals a decrease in quality and unions promote shoddy work. Those two things are mutually exclusive.
To put it simply... you said.. Unions put out good work but promote shoddy work.
