I have a few rhetorical questions about those Damn Unions

When was the last time joining or forming a union led to lower pay and fewer benefits for the workers?

When was the last time decertifying a union led to more pay and greater benefits for the workers?

When was the last time a nonunion employee doing the same job in a particular business made more than a union employee doing the same job?

My answer is . . . NEVER.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
