Why Unions Are Bad For Workers

Cafe on Boeing

This case, the NRLB ruling that Boeing cannot build airplanes in a southern, right-to-work state, perfectly illustrates why unions are bad for workers and why they exist in the first place - to give some workers an advantage against other workers.  In this case, Washington based union members are given the benefit of no competition, not just against the non-union workers in their state which they've had for the life of Boeing, but also against the non-union workers in the Carolinas.  The idea that unions help workers is only possible to accept if you don't see who the workers are helped 'against' - other, non-union workers.
