I have always been a big supporter of #unions but lately I have been second-guessing that and debating with myself if I might actually change my views to be against unions....

My thinking is simple.. I am a huge supporter of anti-trust laws. Essentially I dont think companies should be allowed to create coalitions with the intention of price-fixing the market. This makes sense to me, companies **must** compete or else they can become too powerful.

If i believe in that logic then I should, by similar logic, be against unions. Unions are effectively large groups of people getting together to carry out price-fixing of their labour.

Corporations could be involved in wage-fixing the labor market in their favor as well.

nostr:npub1qy6vuyq2t8dwn03mj9g0dhm5uwewz0tamta9lumm4qvdvu7xzjfq4870k5 I dont think clean safe work should have anything to do with unions. The govt should ensure that. Corporations could be involved in wage-fixing the labor market in their favor as well.

If they did this would be illegal and against anti-trust laws.
