Union and Labor Support

Should everyone be in a union? No, not necessarily. However, their efforts help all workers. The historic wins by the UAW last year have led to raises for workers in Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota factories. Even workers who have unionized at several Starbucks locations have brought up issues about fair labor practices that affect everyone.

I believe that an employer is not doing you a favor by 'giving' you a job. You are doing them a favor by selling them your labor and time. Businesses cannot produce or sell goods and services without labor. Labor is a commodity just like anything else that a company has to invest in. There is strength in numbers, and unions are a way of focusing that in any industry.
