Are unions a legalized protection racket ?

Vote and then express your thoughts on the matter.

Perhaps you might like to let everyone know how YOU think unions work.

In order to give any person that provides care the appreciation they deserve one would need to appreciate the need (and why the needs exist),the  value and benefits of what is being done and difficulties  in what they do.Whether someone cares for their own and or provide the care that others can not....the difficulties ,needs and challenges of doing so would need to be fully appreciated in all cases.I am sure that those who do it to help others know and appreciate the need for support wherever the child/person lives and where it can and may make a huge difference.They would also appreciate (as should others who want to give them their full appreciation) that some people can not do it. I have not seen Freaki post anything that indicates unequal praise .

no offence Iza but I have no idea what you are talking about here.

one thing I will say though is:

THE WORKERS UNITED WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Do you think there is unity within the union ranks?

And more to the point do you think there is unity within government ranks?

And even more to the point do you think unity for the sake of unity is a noble attribute?

What is your view on unity within .............say bikie gangs, or some criminal gang?

As with anything - when you get a bunch of people together there is never unity in everything

Particularly when you get one or more deliberately being divisive for kicks. 😉 & particularly when those types bleat on about integrity like they have any....

I don't think there's any cure for Narcissism though.

YEP - it's all about "why should my neighbour have a BMW when I won't do what is necessary to aquire one for myself.

Are these the thoughts of the person with the BMW ? Do they really think that that is what it is all about ? That everyone must want a BMW ? That better/safer work conditions,fair pay rates equates to them wanting a BMW ?
