What is your view on Unions? I am curious how differently Americans vs Canadians view Unions?
100% of Union Dues are tax deductible. There are no links to Jimmy Hoffa, that is history. The difference in wage from union to non union workers is $5. The right to work laws in the states mean that workers have no rights. I joined a union and all I got was paid vacation, regular pay increase, dental and health benefits, paid sick leave, the right to representation, compasionate leave, senority rights. and the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
I cannot get fired over a conflict of personality with my employer. Do Southern States oppose unions more so then the northern states due to racism? I am from Saskatchewan and unions are very active here, and we are a labour friendly province. This question was inspired to a “Aunt Barbie…..Petunia…” Has she edited any of YOUR answers??
I view unions as a double edged sword. They provide better wages but strikes, poor contract planning and seniority are detremetal in that strikes (like the person mentioned above) can place you in financial problems if it goes on too long, poor contract planning as union reps are usually not well educated and bargain with emotion rather than with the interests of the members and there are alot of unions without contracts because the reps don’t plan ahead but rather wait until the last minute to negotiate (and then strike) which ultimately affects the customer (teacher, Sasktel, Loblaws eternal strike). Seniority is good because older members have job security but it lends to complacency, skill fade and younger members not being able to bring in new skill sets.
As a person who grew up in SK and lived in the southern US, the view of unions is quite different. The southern states view unions as communist-like and have gained alot of the jobs from the heavily unionized north such as auto manufacturing, heavy equipment manufacturing and high tech development. SK likes to look at itself as the workers paradise and the unions have become very powerful politically but IMHO this has come at a enourmous cost to the province over the last 40 years. The constant exodus of youth looking for jobs, stagnant population, lack of entrepreneurial and small business opportunities and lower productivity.
A good example is “the tale of two provinces”: SK and AB. Both have approximately the same resources but AB, due to a large part because of the lack of union impedance, immensely outperforms SK economically. Also, to view the southern states as opposing unions due to racism is juvenile
at best. Why would union opposition be racist? Having worked in a right to work state, how do you come to state that they have no rights? State labor laws, OSHA, etc. are all covered in the workplace in the southern states.
I have a feeling that this question was for a union love-in but as a SK born/raised person who has lived abroad for over 20 years, this is my opinion. I have only worked at one union job (in SK, qu’elle surprise) and still have alway been treated with dignity and respect in non-union jobs and actually my union job was the most restrictive as a young person because my education and hardwork could not compete with the seniority rule.
