Papers have been filed in an attempt to remove Arizona’s "Right to Work" law from the state constitution.Right to Work laws let states determine if workers can be required to join a union to get or keep a job.Robert Nichols with the group Arizona Works Together claims the provision weakens unions.
Unions are useful for a lot of fields, but once you get into fields that are highly specialized they only get in the way.
When a company relies on a small team of difficult to replace experts for the majority of their revenue, they either treat their employees well or they go out of business. A union in that situation serves no purpose.
Back when I was younger and worked regular jobs, I would have loved to join a union. Now? No way. A union would decrease my bargaining power.
Lmao bullshit. A Union is literally an equalizer when it comes to bargaining power. It’s why they were created in the first place. You claim that being specialized in a field automatically makes you immune to wage stagnation, but if you as a worker(even in a specialized field) are dealing with a monopsony, you are fucked.
Oftentimes being in a specialized field is a double edged sword for your own wage too. Sure, there’s not many of you for them to hire, but also there’s not many of them for you to go to and if you piss any of them off, you’re screwed out of any future job.
Making a union even more important I think.
