Unions protect employees from the whims of management.

1) A union is one company negotiating a labor contract with another company, government needs to stay out of it. AKA Free market
2) If republicans politicians start supporting unions then unions will stop giving so much money to Democrats.  The main reason that unions support Democrats is because Republicans keep trying to bust unions. It is really a matter of self preservation if you look at it from the union’s point of view.
3) What have unions done that is so bad that republicans cannot support unions?
High wages? A 40 hour work week?  A safer work place? Paid vacations? Retirement?
ANSWER: Nothing. Higher wages equals more profit for companies.
4) A labor union is a part of free market capitalism
5) There is nothing more Republican or American than men and women working together for the advancement of themselves as individuals.
6) Republicans are against any group or entity that becomes so powerful it begins getting favors from the Government.  If republicans start supporting unions then union power will be limited
7) Republicans are most concerned about the individuals not the corporations and supporting unions is the best way to prove that.
8) Low wages slow the economy and high wages boost the economy. When people are not paid a living wage the corporations have a limited market to sell their product.
9) We need to get back to the time Unions served the people. They were there to fight for better wages, benefits, and to assure a safe working environment, now they are just political.
10) Unions protect employees from the whims of management.

Low wages slow the economy and high wages boost the economy. When people are not paid a living wage the corporations have very few people that the ability to buy their product or service.  Watch out for inflation though.

Henry Ford went against the major business minds of his day,  (Andrew Carnegie, John D Rockefeller, JP Morgan, and others like them) by providing a living wage for his workers. Today, labor unions appear to be the only way to get higher wages for the worker.
Too many business today have the attitude of JP Morgan which was profit at all costs (AKA Morganization).
This attitude moves the money and power from the worker to a select few and in actually creates a form of slavery.
The Ford Motor Company was the last Detroit automaker to recognize the United Auto Workers union (UAW).
