Ive thought a little bit on Unions they through lobbying had a negative effect on competition in the work force during reconstruction forced increased wages priced out Black workers not racism but an adverse effect similar issue with teen workers . Supposedly they were designed to give workers power against the Barons or "capitalists" improve wages and work conditions. My sister worked a city job the Union has for years been stripping away past amenities and benefits that they had also they did nothing when it came to the mandates Ill do my own research but do you know a good place to look on Unions?
