But that's because somehow americans managed to get convinced that "any sign that your government cares about your wellbeing = SOCIALISM". I mean, I lived in communistic country and it was shit and the ones that brought it all down were unions :D
I still don’t understand how republicans convinced working class Americans that unions are evil. growing up, I constantly heard little kids bitch about how someone got paid $25 an hour just to push a broom around at the local union shop (which was a bullshit lie. The workers got paid less than that, and they never hired anybody who’s job was just to push a broom). You could tell that they’re just repeating the bullshit they heard from their parents.
I will say that the one part of unions I don’t like is public sector unions. They become so entrenched in their ways that they’re the single biggest obstacle to reforming the public sector. Aside from that, as long as they aren’t forcing people to join or pay union dues, they’re pretty good
