A union rep. So you only protect certain people, and only if they pay? We need to get rid of that divisive union bullshit as well and level the playing field for all workers.
A rising tide lifts all boats. When negotiating pay raises, better parental leave, pensions, vacation days, overtime, the results don’t merely apply to union members. They apply to everyone.
To manage all the paperwork the union employs full-time office workers. Who pays their salaries?
If a company starts throwing some shit that needs to be taken to labour court, who pays for the lawyers?
What about when a strike is necessary? Where does the money on the warchest come from?
How can the union cover unemployment benefits when people get laid off?
You sound just like the Marx textbook I read back in the 70’s. Even the trite, popular phrases. It’s no laughing matter though. People are dying and suffering all over and all you can talk about is meaningless money of questionable value. A guy once shoveled my snow for me and didn’t charge me anything. He did it to feel a part of the community. How does that fit into your money calculations? It’s a human/ecological issue, not a fiscal one. You can look down and laugh at us from your protected collective perch however. Have fun!
Almost like that movement was a result of overbearing oligarchs literally working people to death.
Must be a funny coincidence.
How does that fit into your money calculations?
Doing someone a favour is all fine and dandy, but favours don’t pay for lawyers when you’re going up against a corporate entity.
How does shovelling snow for you neighbour fit into that?

The only reason I’d look down on you is because you’re somehow, unironocally, using “collective power” as a bad thing.
As I said previously; a rising tide lifts all boats, and when I sit at the negotiating table I’m not merely demanding special perks for union members. I represent the needs of the entire work environment.
Ouch! Based on the downvotes it seems you only want to help yourselves and those in your club, not all workers everywhere. No wonder the billionaires are winning.

Okay, let’s make everyone unionized then. The other direction is bad, very fucking bad.
Haha ha hahaha ha.
No.
