Unions are all but dead in the sectors that need them (medium and small mfg, warehousing, construction etc)

Instead we have government clerks and teachers in unions. The former at least secures a good wage (roughly 70-100% higher than private, in my province). The latter doesn't do shit. But imagine if we sidnt have teachers unions! Youd have pedos and crackfeens teaching in schools because theyd accept minimum wage.

I work in a city hospital in NYC and the literal only reason people work here is for the union benefits. There are different tiers tho, nurses and custodial staff get the best coverage but the MDs are unionized as well.

Health insurance and retirement package. I've worked both private and city hospitals and the difference is pretty significant. My health insurance at the private hospital was through blue cross blue shield and I had crazy deductibles and copays, through 1199 everything is free.

It was an exaggeration to point out the fact that employers, even BOEs, will go for the cheapest labour whenever possible. If you don't understand, thats ok, its sort of a hard concept to get

What if you have a professional degree that allows you to be self-employed and make at least enough money to live comfortably?
