Unions

When employers start looking to hire employees to build their brand new, ‘this will change the world’ product, they look at three things: How much do they cost, how fast do they work, and what quality of product do they turn out.

To stay in business, employers desire to minimize the cost, minimize the time, and maximize the quality. There are tradeoffs with all these that they continually try to balance.

Unionism in our country has been dropping for years (and would have completely disappeared if the government weren’t artificially propping it up) because currently they are expensive, slow and do poor quality work (relative to how expensive and slow they are).

If unions want to survive they need to become more competitive. When a union boss can go to a company and say, “we have the best trained, hardest working, most flexible workers in the industry. We are more expensive than our counter parts in China, but we do the best quality work at the quickest rate, plus you eliminate all the hassles of corrupt Chinese government, intellectual property theft, and the general quisiness of propping up a communist government” is the day when unions will start to grow and prosper in American again, and we will start pulling those manufacturing jobs back here where they belong.
