Correct.  And it also solidifies the point that collective bargaining helps the worker, which is a point you've since agreed with.

I'll take your word that when you said "the benefits are for a very few" you actually meant "the benefits are for the entire collective".  But you certainly could have been clearer on that.

Lol, the arbitration process is the product of collective bargaining

I think your take on the merits of collective bargaining depends on your ideals.

Do you think having a middle class is a good thing?

Do you support concentration of power?

Do you believe workers should not have the power to negotiate the terms of their employment?

Do you believe business owners should receive 500X+ the fruits of their worker's labor?




Essentially, do you believe that all people who aren't business owners, or highly specialized, should earn roughly the same wage?

Unionized welders make $45/hour, and non-union welders make $12-25/hour.

The city is part of that bargaining process. They should have struck a better deal.

I'm pretty sure Enlil's now agreeing collectivization helps the worker.  He's arguing it hurts people outside the collective.  Though I'm with you that the benefit to the worker generally outweighs the harm to others.

Funny, if I made that same argument that a worker should have made a better deal with his boss, you'd give me rhetoric about unequal bargaining power.  When it's equally uneven the other way, you're fine with it.

It benefits more than the worker. It benefits every business that worker patronizes. It benefits their children. It contributes to the fluidity of finances within our economy.

If everyone took part in collective bargaining, our economy would be better, our education would be better (because parents would have more time to spend with their children). Hell, a case could be made that our democracy would be better, both due to better education, and the fact that as people exercise democracy in the workplace (via bargaining), they might better understand how to participate in the political process which governs their country.

I prefer the power to be in the hands of the many, rather than the few.

The workers, rather than the boss.

Decentralized power is always preferable.

Allow me:


Back when workers had more power, EVERYONE got more money.  After the decline of the union in the 80's NOT everyone got more money.  :shrug:

I don't mind you getting confused, but I would appreciate it if you wouldn't construct your quotes so that my statement appears to be in response to a different post than I responded to.  It's intellectually dishonest and cheap.

The website has a function where you can click on the name after the "re:" in the subject and it will take you to the very post it is in response to. 

Are you going to fix your post?

Sure, I'll fix it, but please clear one thing up for me first:

I thought you were arguing against Wooof's point that the collective also helps people outside the collective and that's what you meant by "If only that's how it really worked."

Do you actually agree with wooof's point, or do you think that's not how it really works?

I don't think that collective bargaining helps the nation in the same way it did before the world got smaller.  There was a time when it did, but that time is gone and most likely never to return.  That is not what I was referring to with "if only that's how it really worked" though. 

He argues that collective bargaining puts the power in the hands of the many and not the few.  I think that is naïve as fuck and doesn't represent the reality on the ground.  That is what I meant by "If only that's how it really worked."

Are you referring to the big bad union bosses having too much power?

They may line their own pockets, but they are still empowering the many against the few. That's why those union welders make double.
