He got heard. That's more than has happened before. I have never been pro- or anti-labor union but for years thought they were unnecessary in modern times but I have recently considered changing my mind on that. As there are fewer and fewer small companies to work for over the long term, I believe the need for labor unions is making a comeback.

[@BloodTithingsGaming]

@@mamalor13 One point that every anti-union person will skip over is that unions need their employer to be successful as well. UPS, Ford, Chevrolet, Union Pacific, Costco, Kroger, Kaiser Permanente, United Airlines, Delta, Southwest, American Airlines, Verizon, AT&T, Boeing, they are all unionized. Some of the biggest companies in the US. Unionization doesn't hurt a company, it preserves it and helps it grow. The only people that unionization actually affects in a negative way are the board members because they can't squeeze every penny out of their employees. Most of the workers rights we have today is the result of a fight that labor unions waged!

[@mamalor13]

@@BloodTithingsGaming I never said unions had no place at any time in history. And admittedly, I am from a prosperous oil field community. Being that, I felt like unions had served their time, done their good, but were no longer terribly relevant or necessary. At this point, with so many employees of large prosperous companies (McDonalds, Burger King, DoorDash, etc) being paid poorly and have had hours lost in order to avoid qualifying for benefits if there were any benefits so administrators and stockholders can be paid, somebody needs to do something.

I am not saying everyone in those institutions is always corrupt. I am saying there is a tilt towards corruption. Life is complicated.

It was funny watching him lose the crowd as he moved away from his props to Trump and started delivering his message. It was very clear these people don't give a crap about the working class. Their fading reception for his message made that perfectly clear. In fact, if I were the Democrats, I would replay those weak responses over and over again. Despite Trump pretending to be a man of the people, his lack of interest in the speech as it wore on really showed how he feels. He doesn't care. He was only thrilled when he was getting props. But once it was about the working class, Trump lost interest. None of those people give a crap about the workers. They are greedy and self interested. They don't care about the working class, and they absolutely don't care about this country.

Unions have there place and have benefited America, but that was a long time ago. If a company is paying their people a fair wage and benefits what is the benefit of joining a union. It’s not cheap to be a member of a union. So even if a union gets you some added benefits does the individual worker get any more money in their pocket. If the dues are more than the added benefits there is no reason to join a union. Amazon by all I have read pay their people equal if not more than they would get if they join the union. That is probably why when the union try to get companies in right to work states to join their union they have not had much success. Sean is right the workers need to be treated fairly and America needs a great work force, but only the individual can decide if being a member of a union is good for them and the company they work for.
