UNIONS KILL INNOVATION WITH LACK OF EFFORT

UNIONS ARE KILLING INDUSTRY

By: Derek Varsalona

After being in a union twice, as a teacher aide, and as a county worker I can definitely say that unions suck and are killing the American dream.  The fact is that when you are in a union you lose your individuality.  Whenever I had a problem, I went to my boss to solve the issue.  I never went to why union since that would not solve the problem in a matter of minutes but in a matter of weeks.  If I went to my boss it got settled in a matter of minutes. 

I applaud President Biden for his commitment to the auto workers.  However, the fact of the matter is that union workers are the forgotten men and women in America.  For too long unions have been used by the Democratic Party.  When I was in Nassau County County Executive Ed Mangano tried to negotiate with the union to give back some things so he could save every job.  The union rolled the dice and said no to giving back in the end some if not many members got laid off as a result of their poor leadership in the CSEA.

President Biden wants to build things in America and buy American-made products.  I support that.  It will get the inflation down hopefully but President Biden caused the inflation nation in America.  

The thing I hate about unions as I stated above is that it kills individuality.  I am a unique individual with a disability.  The fact is that unions kill my ability to think and act independently for my own self.

A union is a form of socialism and social working practices.  That is because it focuses on the collective and what is good for the collective as opposed to the individual.  What is best for the collective is not necessarily what is best for the individual.

An economy where everyone has the ability to succeed is not in a union.  Actually, I saw many people slacking in my time as a union member.  I saw people sleeping at their desks a lot.  

President Biden is trying to save the industry.  I do support saving jobs where we can.  But he is doing this unfairly as he is saving only union jobs and letting the white-collar and middle-class fall.  As always comments accepted.
