In every country, there is a direct correlation between the prosperity and well being of the public and the percentage of workforce that is unionized.  This FACT can be shown by data upon request.

So for those who oppose unions like Skans, I must ask :  what is it about prosperity that you hate?

I think you will find that where this is true, there is a high value placed on education. And education is recognized as being both academic and technical.

The result is an economy well positioned to supply "high value add" products to export markets.

In less developed economies, unions can certainly accelerate the distribution of "national income", but if the product they generate are commodities, unions can become sources of financial (and economic) inflexibility - like the domestic agriculture sectors of small advanced economies.

@Skans  is one of those midwits whose positions are prescritpive, rather than descriptive. 

He's too stupid to understand what that means, so I will break it down. 

Prescriptive positions are taken based on some set of beliefs - a pre-approved, pre-adopted template, so to speak. Descriptive positions are taken based on realities on the ground. A good example of the dichotomy is when you talk animal welfare with most libertarians. Their prescriptive view is that since animals have no rights to violate, animal cruelty laws = overstep. My descriptive view is that any and all cruelty to animals is a breach of the peace, since a normal, ordinary man would feel compelled to kick you in the nuts for that ****. Ergo, animal cruelty laws =/= overstep. 

Anyway, he slobbers about unions because he's stupid - and his template says they are "bad," no matter WHAT history shows to be so. The fact that the "greatest generation" was extremely supportive of unions causes the lickspittle no cognitive disonance - he will lick their balls while disagreeing with everything they believed, and think himself quite "patriotic."

He's been conditioned to screech about china and cuba when the word "union" comes up - he has ruined a number of weddings with his pavlovian ranting and frothing. Slowly he turns, step by step , inch by inch...

Its fascinating to see because he is obviously intelligent, but utterly controlled by his own delusions.  The capacity of the mind to maintain faith despite mountains of evidence against it

He's just a lazy, entitled **** is my guess. 

So MANY of those arrogant fruitcakes are dying. I'm convinced that a broad swath of tardville is so entitled they believe their government and corporations would not DARE...

In their arrogance, they felt perfectly safe experimenting with drugs. And now, their graves beckon.

That’s quite the loaded question . Assuming facts a priori not in evidence - that millions of union members don’t like unions.. highly unlikely.

Look at Agriculture Sectors in N. Europe.

Producing food domestically is both a cultural and national security issue. However, food is not (relatively) abundant and cheap because the world relied on domestic markets. It is so because logistics have improved to the point where food produced in areas of greatest natural advantage can now be delivered globally.

So what happens to the market for locally grown agricultural product in France, for example, when it is far cheaper to import wheat from Ukraine, and fruit and vegetables from North Africa? They require some form of price protection to remain in business. This raises costs for french consumers, and when negotiations break down, the conflicts can tie up large parts of the country at considerable economic cost.

I was kind enough to humor your second unsupported assumption, that labor membership has dropped dramatically.  You're welcome

Why are you such a reflexive ****?

You asked, I politely accommodated.

Now you bitch.

As I always ask

"What is EVER in it for me?"

I grew up in N. Europe...I know what it is like to eat brussel sprouts all winter because that's what you got out of greenhouses in the winter in N. Europe. How about canned potatoes? Been there, done that, hated them.

My stepfather's ancestral estate went the way of the Dodo in the 1970s because you couldn't get enough selling the product to pay the taxes. If that has a familiar ring to you, it should.

This is Reality, Sport....not the mental onanism in which you are inclined to indulge.

Not sure what country you're from, but in the United States union membership has dropped  dramatically over the decades.
