TopicDo you think Unions are a good thing or a bad thing overall?

Considering all the shit that goes on these days with shady work practices (firing people just before they qualify for a raise, keeping them below hours that would require them to pay benefits, etc.), unions are probably more needed now than they have been in almost 100 years.

When you chart income inequality and union power in the USA, the correlation is perfectly negative. Considering how "forgotten America" propelled Trump to the White House, it strikes me as a somewhat bitter irony that these "forgotten" people are busy rewarding the party that has spent the last few decades gutting their most reliable path to better job wages/benefits and more political power.
