Wow. A cartoon by someone who couldn't hack college. Nice crayon work there.
So, Princeton is becoming a Trade School. Nothing quite like lowering your standards right into a deep ditch. Maybe they'll offer courses in hairdressing and nail care next...
Public education wasn't an American invention.Why do you hate the greatest invention America ever created??????????????????
Be it deliberate or delusional, this is an absurd statement. An individual worker employed at will has absolutely NO leverage with an employer.Not even close to being true. US education is being pulled to the hard Left. As for your last sentence, that is totally delusional.
Why should the working class support unions? Many--not all, but many--unions are heavily politicized, and the leadership is completely out of touch with a big chunk, often a majority, of their members. If the union offers little or nothing of value to a worker, why should a worker join it? That's where many unions today are at. They offer nothing of real value to their members.
I suppose a typical worker's union is fine for someone with little or no ambition, mediocre to average work habits, and who has no interest in getting ahead or bettering themselves.

Collective bargaining is the only way to prevent worker exploitation, intimidation, and abuse.
This is not a difficult concept, being obvious on its face.
It takes a debilitating level of moral decadence to be opposed to unions.
Political conservatives in America, however, are, virtually without exception, totally devoid of morality,.
They're a cancer on our population.
Republican union members are psychotically in opposition to their own self interests and thus not entitled to be part of the bargaining and endorsing processes. [I've "explained" that to a few.] They're a lot like anti-choice women who are mortal enemies to their own gender.Sure they do. They can sue for wrongful termination too. As for collective bargaining, why pay for what you don't use? For example, do you want your union making political contributions to politicians you despise? A union can exploit, intimidate, and abuse workers just as easily as an employer.
Unions can be harmful and useless to workers. Some aren't, others are. Currently, a bit over 40% of union workers nationwide are Republican. If their union is using their dues to support Democrats, whether YOU like it or not, their union is SCREWING that 40%. They're taking those worker's money and giving it to politicians and causes they don't support.
6. Partisanship by family income, home ownership, union membership and veteran status
Democrats have an edge among registered voters in the lowest and highest income tiers, union members and voters who rent their home.www.pewresearch.org
That's what Beck v. CWA was about, but unions still do it.
Why should someone pay dues to a union that won't help them get promoted? Or, a union that quibbles over bullshit with the employer because they want to be adversarial?
There are good unions and bad ones. There are necessary and unnecessary ones too. If unions are so great and useful they'd have more than 9% of the workforce joining one. That tells me unions, overall, suck bigtime and it's their own fucking fault.
Unions on the whole offer about a 6% better wage that is mostly eaten up in dues the worker pays. Unions can impose rules that prevent workers from advancing to better jobs and getting promotions. They can engage in cronyism and favoritism picking which workers get what from the employer. Unions often protect unproductive and mediocre employees and the other workers see that. That doesn't help their image.

Unions do help the highest seniority qualified applicant get promoted, and that's the only fair way of doing it.
Unions have no influence on members who choose to leave the union for non-represented jobs within a company.
Represented jobs are legally contracted to the union and non-members have absolutely no right to them.
A contract is a contract.
TAG, we share virtually no values on anything and thus cannot expect to agree on much.No, they're not. The union isn't there to politic, it's there to collectively bargain with the employer over things like wages and hours. Only a fucking total retard would think a union is about buying politicians.
No, they don't. They frequently go on seniority alone. Competence, and capability to do the job are ignored. And, seniority is NOT the only "fair" way to do promotions.
Then they are self-serving morons. Their whole reason for existing is to help employees, and part of that should be to help them be promoted to higher positions even if those positions are not union jobs. Again, they're not doing employees any favors not helping them get promoted.
And once again, you are arguing that unions are looking out for their own self-interests rather than those of their members. Maybe that's why only 9% of US workers are in a union today, they see what a shit job unions do for them.

First, I'm the one that was an actual elected union rep and board member. Second, my business degree dual majors were accounting and INDUSTRIAL LABOR RELATIONS.
And so it actually is, whether you choose to believe it or not.So you say, old timer.
