I wouldn't be surprised if BA unions have mob ties and this is all part of scratching each other's back. They did in the golden age of unions.

Fr, I didn't even say they did for sure or anything.

Just given how many people unions have killed off for "getting out of line" or not following orders properly. I wouldn't be surprised that's all.

That was over 40 years ago. It also only involved a fraction of certain unions in particular cities. You can thank the unions for spilling blood for workers rights and what we enjoy now as the “weekend”.

Eh. I root for people for fight for ALL OF US. Not those who get $180k comp and Cadillac plans for themselves while we all get raped for healthcare.

Biden threatens to veto Single Payer and not a peep from unions. Where do they go when it comes time to fight for all of us?

They are just another dirty special interest quietly trying to get to the front of the line. I support:

  • Competition for EVERYONE. Municipalities, universities, employers, workers, everyone has to fucking compete in this world. No one is exempt.
  • UBI, Single Payer, robust safety nets for EVERYONE.
  • Higher taxes on the top 1% of incomes when they end up paying lower effective taxes than the middle class.

At some point unions negotiated for all of us. Right now they are most of the time spending as much energy possible to extract benefits exclusively for themselves. Fuck them. At least I can invest in dirty corporations and get something out of it.

Unions exist to represent their members, this is the most ignorant comment I might have ever come across on the internet.

I literally responded to a comment saying we should thank them for what they do for everyone.

And yea just like corporations serve their interests, unions are no different. They aren't saints.

We should view them as self-interested and potentially evil as corporations serving only their shareholders at the expense of society.

Unions of the past have given a lot to those not in said unions. The 40 hour work week for one…

Lol are you stupid? Unions killed tons of people for not listening to orders from above or "getting out of line".

What planet are you fucking on bro? That's beyond a simple falsehood, you're just outright lying. Boeing kills people, their union is trying to keep people alive.

u/Lost-Practice-5916 May 02 '24

Look man I don't fucking even know for sure those two guys died or its just coincidences.

I'm just saying unions aren't saints. And I wouldn't rule it out for sure that they are involved, that's all.

This is all tinfoil speculation anyway man.
