QAnon?I'm confused why the group is protesting something involving sex offenders, but refuses to discuss or disclose the specific reason.
If so, I respect the protestors even less.QAnon?
I work in Irvine. A couple of years ago, they camped out daily for the better part of a year on Jamboree by the Google building with a big sign saying unfair labor practices. We asked them a couple of times what the specific grievances were. No one on the line could articulate any specifics. They were in between jobs and the union was paying them a daily rate to show up and spend the day there. Never did find out what the specific issues were, not sure how effective that really was for them.If so, I respect the protestors even less.
James Dean wannabes...Never did find out what the specific issues were
So happy that I live in a right-to-work state, it makes unions powerless. I remember during my college days having summer jobs were I was forced to join a union, just to pay them dues and to get nothing in return.I work in Irvine.

Although there are bad unions — and it sounds like this Irvine situation involves one — “right to work” is a misleading label, and laws that prohibit organization of labor and collective bargaining are absolutely against the interests of the ”people”.So happy that I live in a right-to-work state, it makes unions powerless.

That's not why unions exist. But if providing a reasonable standard for compensation and working conditions for everyone engaged in the labor market isn't a priority to you, hey that's cool too.If non-union shops can produce the same or better work quality for lower cost, they should be freely able to. If their work quality is less, then the market will take care of itself.
Of course union workers are pro-union, but it's no secret that unions are less cost competitive.
I would argue that the non union shops have a reasonable standard for compensation & working conditions.That's not why unions exist. But if providing a reasonable standard for compensation and working conditions for everyone engaged in the labor market isn't a prior to you, hey that's cool too.

There are definitely plenty of terrible unions out there, just like there are tons of awesome companies with non-union employees that do a fantastic job taking care of them while still providing quality goods and services.I would argue that the non union shops have a reasonable standard for compensation & working conditions.
I've seen way more bad than good with unions, but I completely understand that not everyone sees things that way.
