Comment on Cathy, do the math.

  The issue here is that if more people choose not to join a union for the pay raise in the short term, unions become weaker in the longer term. The capitalist in this case is paying a premium now to divide up labor for the chance down the line to save more money on labor overall in the long term.

    Thank you, this is exactly what I said, but since you don’t have a .ml next to your name people might not just randomly attack you over it.

  Great, they increased pay for non-union workers, the workers leave the union for increased pay, now the company cuts union pay, and now there’s no organization for the workers to do anything about it. “Mission accomplished” indeed.

    Yes that’s capitalism, how exactly you’re baffled by that this late in life is in itself quite the quandary.

      Literally what have I said anywhere that suggests I’m in any way, “baffled?” I’m just pointing out how fucked up it is to others who don’t understand, such as the person I replied to.

        You keep asking basic civics questions as one would of they are baffled.

        extremely confused or puzzled

        What’s fucked up is you’re appearantly just learning about it but are old enough to use the Internet unsupervised.
