That doesn't prove unions are bad, just that cops ruin everything they're involved with.

They do the same thing that all other unions do. They protect and fight for the members of the unions.

But people don't like the police and they don't like the government, so, in turn, they don't like their unions either.

In my city years ago, around campus some shop owner went with a private company for renovations over going to the carpenters union and the latter hired disruptive protesters to pester the site.

I think we can all agree that unions during the birth of the industrial age were a godsend, but now?

Yes.

It's definitely as simple as "people don't like cops"

My main issue is unions is that you have to take 20th century drug tests for marijuana. Can we get with the times, please? My other issue is that modern unions dont fight for higher wages like they did for previous generations. We get more breaks instead of more money.

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
But the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;
But the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong

Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong

Yeah man it's definitely just because people don't like cops and not because they routinely enable and cover up abuses of power.

You're still upset that people don't think police unions deserve the benefit of the doubt, aren't you?

There are definitely some garbage unions. In one of the big strikes in the past couple years (Kellogs maybe idr), the union let the company shit on it's employees for over a year before finally doing anything at all. The union finally got off it's last ass and did it's job, but in the meantime it outright stole these people's dues. Fuck that noise.

Workers need unions because the alternative is horrific, but unions have to actually do their part. Most unions seem to be able to handle it. Make them all accountable

you guys do know that Unions are the reason we have weekends, and 8 hour workday, right?
plus the ability to not be forced to buy everything from the company store, and live in houses that aren't owned by the company, that you can be kicked out of the moment you lose the job

Unions are great because they force companies to treat their employees fairly. It's why so many big corporations try to fight unionization.

I remember when I worked for McDonald's, they tried to make unions sound so bad for us and that we shouldn't let them trick us. And we listened because we were young and didn't know better.

Um what? Police unions are shit dude. They routinely cover up police abuse and shit. They are more of a gang then a damn union.

I've had bad experiences with them personally. I've worked 2 union jobs. I felt the 1st one existed for no reason other than to take our money every month. The company could make you work 12 hours a day and even 16 hours in some cases.

The 2nd was a bit better as they had restrictions on how much they could make us work. The union didn't do shit about the company firing people for frivolous reasons though.
