The fact that the only effective unions are police unions is a pretty good argument against unions. If advertising is unionized it would quickly become another mechanism of protection for white men who behave badly.

Why wouldn’t the union also protect the victim of a badly behaved white man if said victim was also in a union?

DAE white people, amirite?

Unions were pretty effective prior to Reagan. The GOP has been on a mission for Almost 40 years to kill unions because they shift the balance of power away from the management. Wages across the board were higher when collective bargaining was a tool employees could use. Things like "right to work" that let employers fire employees without cause we're at least partially implemented to prevent unions from forming. Since they don't have to give a reason for the firing and firing to prevent unions is illegal.

SAD1 except police unions, firefighters unions, and maybe teachers unions.

Well, AD1, that’s unlikely because unions are historically white.

One of the biggest drivers of the post-war boom in labor unions was racism and white anxiety over the civil rights movement.

And structurally a union requires coordination between a majority of the employees in an industry. And our industry is a white one.

I'm one of 3 learning strategists at my school. However, I'm the MAIN strategist that cover for absent teachers. I just finished taking over a grade until it was filled with a new teacher. Admin works closely with the other 2. I'm not included in any school data/presentation to help the new teachers on staff. I believe the other strategists are working against me. They are assigned classes when I'm not available. The union says it's at the principal's discretion. What would you do?

From what I read the country has an epidemic that is growing at an enormously fast pace! It seems administration all around the country thinks they can go ahead and behave as if nobody else matters in a school district! Their hypocrisy is an embarrassment and their self-management BS needs to stop! The unions aren't doing anything about it mine believe my administration before me even! We're greater in number and we need to stop the bullying and harassment directed at teachers and students!

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
