Union musings - I'm not the only one!

Wednesday, 4 March 2015
The job shopping continues and I've had a couple of offers extended to me.
One of which was amazingly low-paying temp work in a unionized environment.
Yes! On top of the low wages one would have to accept union dues being deducted regularly.

I thought I must be crazy for feeling this way, the self-proclaimed Leftist and downright Communist I consider myself to be.
I know what unions have done for workers historically. This was such an important battle!
But I learned that as a worker in today's landscape I am not alone with my unusual point of view! PostLibertarian has summed it up nicely:
