More money in the pockets of entry-level workers sounds great, but Rachel Greszler of the conservative Heritage Foundation argues that such workers, and the economy writ large, are hurt more than helped by increases in the minimum wage.

    A union is only beholden to the employees rather than management.

      A union where employees are forced to join is beholden to no-one

        Except the people that elect it’s leaders, which would be the employees.

          There is no requirement for union reps to be elected

        @jimbolauski @Skyrmir It seems less than democratic to me that employees who voted in a union many decades ago got to have the final say in whether people who work there generations later are unionized.
