Labor unions are the single worst thing in the USA. They bankrupt companies, crush local and state budgets and throw literal temper tantrums when they don't get their way.

Never heard of his, Why is he important?

You are aware that they don't have that level of power anymore, right? All they do anymore is just protect someone from wrongful termination. Maybe the occasional pay raise, vacation time, and retirement benefits. That's about it, but it depends on your Union.

He was a communist agitator and a wannabe mafia boss. Two kinds of scumbag for the price of one.

These are all greater than what the market, companies, and the government can support.

The pension packages will bankrupt entire cities and states in the next 20 years.

Someone was very good at keeping their mouth shut. The Tylenol killer was never found either and never confessed.

Reminder that fascism = unions

You can't badmouth unions, then turn 180 and yell how big of a fascist you are

is this a common thing in your country?

Fair point. But things like OSHA and the minimum wage, while important, are bare necessities. I think we could do better than that.
