I was a union concrip for almost 20 years. Most of what the union did was to keep Democratic politicians in office.

Unions created middle America 🇺🇸

Don’t tell trump that. Btw congratulations to the union members on here that voted for the most anti union president in American history

The two best at teaching and training, The American Unions and Military. When you you hire a union trained tradesman you hire a worker who knows all the skills in that trade!

Unions are the destruction of america...time is over for their needs

It's hard to imagine how a merit shop can compare to a union shop. I'm a proud retired member of UA Plumbers Local Union 27 in Pittsburgh PA. I made an above average living wage while working and enjoy a comfortable retirement due to a good Pension, Annuity, and subsidized medical benefit.

United we bargain divided we beg UA member 45 years God bless Union people!

Elon out to destroy America...

Today union labor keeps our country strong

Worked for years as a commercial carpenter and did a ton of jobs in defense industry companies. The one thing they all had in common was scads of professional deadbeats getting paid top dollar for dragging their feet and hiding all day. The other thing they all had in common was unions

Labor Unions made America!

Unions are responsible for you getting paid vacation, paid sick time, time & a half for working over 40 hours a week,& health insurance, paid holidays, creating a minimum wage so employers can't pay you Penny's. Union's created all the benefits we now have.

I love ❤️ unions strong 💪 local 79 mason tenders Newyork City good paying job and good benefits and good pensions God bless America 🇺🇸 invest your future now I am enjoying retirement relaxing 😎

If your workers can’t afford your products you’re not paying them enough!

Elonia is out to DESTROY UNIONS!

But Slave labor makes Billionaires richer.

Just remember that trump hates unions, they drive down profits. And that's his narrow-minded way of looking at it, when in fact they make their profits and union workers get their share too.

And jobs taking ten times longer to finish!!

Worked at a nuclear power plant for 36 years with no union. No problems.

IBeW retired and Dam Proud of It!!!!!

Union bashers are just clueless jealous people that don’t have the skills to belong to one !!!

And more expensive products for the average Americans, unions were a great thing, not anymore I guess unless you're in one or in charge

They say that first impressions are lasting ones. My first experience with unionized labor was when I was in the Navy and attached to a cruiser being built at Bath Iron Works in Bath, ME. Navy personnel had to be present whenever BIW employees were working in sensitive areas of the ship and I was assigned to one. I reported to my station at 7:45 to begin my 8:00 shift. The BIW crew was to begin their shift at 8:00. At 8:30 they began to dribble in. There were 7, in total, who would work in that area, that day. At 9:00, the last employee came in. At 9:20, I asked them why they weren’t working and was told that they were waiting for the foreman to tell them what to do. Before the foreman showed up, they began to leave the space. I asked them where they were going and one of them said that they were going to line up to go on their 10:00 AM break. It was 9:30. They repeated this at lunch and twice in the afternoon and I quickly understood why the taxpayers were on the hook for $1B for the USS Normandy.

Union yes,solidarity

Don't forget higher cost for consumers. That's why I will never buy anything union. The higher prices does not equate to higher quality.
