Well,

Quote:
oh, i dunno. maybe because it's THEIR business? and they are the ones putting in all the capital and taking all the risk? If all those unions want more profits, they should organize and start their own corporation.
They did organize, they're called unions, and they do push for more share of the profits all the time. What am I missing?

Quote:
your biggest reasoning so far is unions should be able to practice in bad faith because the corporations are doing the same. I dunno bout you, but my mommy told me two wrongs don't make a right.
No, I questioned why so many more people were peeved about Union abuses than Corporate ones. Ask your mommy how that translates into me pushing for increased Union practising in bad faith. That's twisting it a little.

And you know what,you're right, corporations DO get a lot of concessions (especially in places like Alberta). But the answers and sollutions sure as hell don't lie in having more unions.
No, I'd suggest the answers lie in increased government regulation, hopefully negating the need for the continuation of Unions. If government would comprehensively legislate employee/employer relations, there wouldn't need to be Unions, the people would be protected by the State (as has been evolving for decades).

I just don't see how pointing out Union incompetence in select cases = a win for Management activities across the board. I hear a little of 'their both guilty' and a lot of 'Union's suck'. That's not exactly balanced criticism. Again, maybe a sign of the time/place we live.
