you make a strong point

Elon looks like Pol Pot.

No. Why? Unions are a good thing. Corporations are evil. Unions help people stay employed and get fair pay. Unions are great!

Everyone seems to be happy to support the parasitic class called the "billionaires" you like being sucked dry and kicked to the curb? People are weird.

Unions should be voluntary, although it would weaken a union significantly, there would still be enough collective bargaining to ensure your not abused by a company. I am not really sure what to think about Unions when it comes to government work however.

I wish Unions would stay away from politics, unless the issue directly affects the workers they are supposed to protect. It makes them not much more than a special interest group, and waste union dues that are supposed to help the worker during strikes.

Time for government to stop being a charity. Government should prioritize protecting property rights, public infrastructure, regulation, emergency services, and defense.

Genuinely remove medicare and social security.

Social security is just a massive ponzi scheme at this point.

Medicare has become a race to see which private entities can scam the government harder.

Also absolutely no welfare for the able-bodied. Leave that to charity organizations. If someone doesn't work and becomes a public nuisance, then they should be apprehended. They'll earn their meals through penal labor.

Remove minimum wage as well. Let the free market decide rates.
If it becomes too small due to competition, it will naturally lead to people seeking or creating opportunities in other industries. Let the people who want to work 5 dollars an hour work for 5 dollars an hour, that's called freedom.

Unions can exist, but only if they're controlled by the government. Independent unions should be banned as they lead to problems in respective industries. Imagine if in the USA, you couldn't fire a bad cop because of pressure from unions.

I work for an employer, I'm browbeat and forced to work under unsafe circumstances.

I work "with" a union, I call in a union member to stand up for me, who then browbeats me and tells me the situation which is clearly not safe is safe and calls me a ♥♥♥♥♥. Then I pay my union dues.

You probably don't even work.

I think "Freedom of association".
(Which can be directly stated or implied by other rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of assembly)

Unions can be good or bad. I do think there is no reason for gov't employees to have a union.
Which is what Pres. Franklin Roosevelt also believed.

Otherwise, Social "Security" is a terrible deal for most people. It should never have been made mandatory for everyone, and should have been funded from the general treasury, not from a separate funding source. Absolutely terrible burden to have placed on wage workers.

Unions gave you the weekend.

nah, just the European Union.

I agree with Trump and Elon. Unions should not exist. That includes the teachers union. The police and fire unions. Businesses and governments should be able to fire at will. I also disagree with social security, medicare, medicaid.

What do you think?

Job security is one of the few "perks" of some of these positions. Doing away with that without replacing it with more competitive wages or benefits is a bad idea.

Wait till your boss fires you, because he feels likes it .... oh, wait we're talking US aren't we
