The PART the LWNJ idiots don't seem to get is that COLLECTIVE BARGAINING raises prices FAR MORE than any TARIFFS ever could.

 

While this may be true, I have no fundamental problem with collective bargaining.  Workers should be able to unite to negotiate for better wages and conditions - that's only fair. But, businesses should be empowered with the ability to hire new workers - yes replacement workers -  where the workers' demands are unreasonable.  Take for example the recent Dockworker's Strike.  It is unreasonable for workers to dictate to their employers what technology they can and cannot use, and when that happens, the Union should be made to pay the price of "overreach".
