Do you believe in right to work laws ?

[''M'']

I asked this question earlier: A question for union guys, Lets say am a 55 year old trucking business owner, I have been building my business for 35 years. I build a tremendously successful business with a 120 employees. Is it okay to you, for my 120 employees to walk out on me and unionize and take control of my company? I am still waiting on an answer from you union guys.

i'm no union guy, but sure it is...especially if you're a colossal prick like you made out to be in the earlier post. you're practically inviting employees to assert their rights against you.

would be better if you focused on being a leader, a kind and good fellow, and simply made a strong focus on results as a primary driver of your business....but that's just me...wtf do i know.

Absolutely,

It protects the freedom of both employers and employees.

Employees can still have the choice to form/join unions & Employers have greater flexibility in negotiating with them.

If you don't favor right to work you don't favor freedom.

People who don't favor freedom suck.

This post Has a lot of BS in it. RTW basically allows an employer to fire you , or discipline employees for any reason whatsoever with the worker having zero recourse, other than to give a complaint and we all know how that goes. It does not give you the right to form a union. If it did, UGA would have one. Not that I believe in unions. I just retired from UGA and the stories I could tell you....

I love freedom but the shit I have seen people pull under the disguise of RTW is appalling. The wording and idea of RTW is a far cry from the way it's actually implemented.

Maybe you should quit trying to be a modern day slaveholder

With this fantastic economy you should have no problem taking your skills elsewhere if you get your feelings hurt. Gradulations.

No, I'd rather there be an environment where both parties are actually held accountable. People have to perform the job they were hired and paid to do and the management does not get to abuse the employees at their whim or for the profit of the company. It's not about unions. Unions were not allowed where I worked so we didn't have that option. I generally don't approve of unions but in some cases I feel they used to be necessary in order to get a fair word and a fair fight.

In any event, I think some here are confusing 2 situations, private and public sectors. As a proprietor of a private company, I should be able to run it exactly how I please. I should be able to hire or fire anyone I want for whatever reason I want because it's my ass on the line and my financial risk. Good business owners value their employees as an asset and an investment, not a robot you own as some have suggested here. The good owners realize this and thrive whereas the ones that don't eventually fail. To me this makes RTW laws obsolete.

In the public sector, you get administration, managers, directors, VPs, etc who are entrusted with government resources. When these people start to treat their employees like they built and own the entity employing them all, and take advantage of the employees, there are in fact, very little protections in reality. The RTW laws in these cases have often been abused and contorted into something that allows the supervising employee and the institution to make demands of the employee that are inappropriate. RTW laws have been the backbone of this type of treatment when you Have abusive admin and management at government institutions
