You need to step back and realize you are talking about something completely different than i. You are talking about people banding together, hence the semantics comment, i am talking about the big business that are unions. Did the pilots union organize that sick out? I’m guessing not because in my experience with contractual agreements, that would be a breach of contract, depending on the wording of course. I have never seen a contract not explicitly call out work stoppages while under said contract to not breach the contract. You wanna band together, go ahead, but the second you join one of these unions you are contributing to the big corporations you say i’m protecting.

Furthermore, not once in all the contract negotiations i have been apart of, both sides, have the union workers got more because of said union representation. You want a guaranteed raise every year, ok, but miss out on those years when the company has record profits and could have given much better raises and bonuses. On the flip side, the company is contractually obligated to give you that smaller raise and bonus even though it could have bumped wages for everyone, effectively limiting the company’s ability to lure new/better candidates. Socialism is a weight that weighs on everyone involved.
