Could I please have some papers shedding more light on productivity, societal gains, monopolistic behaviour etc resulting from unionizing an industry?
Not just perceived benefit but what happens in practice.
Ignoring whether unions are good or not. I find it odd that people here want another level of management and bureaucracy in their work environment when simpler solution like universal income exists.
Universal income will allow low paid workers to stay at home while not worrying about grinding to put food at their plates. Allowing them more power individually to negotiate better terms with their employer rather than having to go through a middle management layer which may or may not be receptive to your request.
I have a dumb question, what happens when an industry is controlled by one segregated group by their sex, age, race or any differentiating factor that is permanent.
Would that not be a challenge with unions?
How do you enforce "diversity" in unions whatever that may be?
Would universal employee benefit from the government not encourage more growth as small businesses don't need to factor in a lot when hiring workers and will only need to pay simple tax to the government based on any factor ranging from employee count to revenue?
