I recently sat down with an old acquaintance, and the conversation turned
to his work. He works in construction, and was frustrated by the fact that
during the last economic downturn wages declined, but despite the recent
uptick, they hadn t raised.
This problem is endemic costs throughout the West. The volume of your
bottle of soda goes down, but the price remains the same. You take on more
responsibility at work, but you keep doing the same pay. New technologies
layoffs, while requiring higher skill levels among those who remain,
without a corresponding increase in pay.
I m firmly believes in the efficacy of free markets, but that doesn t mean
I & # 8217; m opposition to labor unions. Free association is a crucial
element in a free society, and the decision to negotiate collectively is
just one of its forms. In addition, the union can serve a vital function in
the economy.
No sane capitalist wants to enjoy the tragedy of the commons and # 8211;
the short-term profit at the cost of destroying the industry & # 8211; and
unions can provide a function of vital signs, allowing owners to understand
what things are like on the ground & # 8221;, alleviate the long-term costs
of aggressive policies, operations, which may wind up destroying the force
the work that their society is based on.
There is nothing wrong with the unions, but s become a dirty word because
of the dirty practices, they. Ve engaged in the turn of the last century,
the factory owners hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency to threaten and
assault striking workers; Unions have responded to bed with organized crime
and Democratic politicians, embracing Marxist & # Gimme dat 8221;
philosophy, which is just as destructive as the rape and pillage philosophy
Robber Barons.
None of this indicts the principle of unionization; it is simply an act of
corruption charges. And in this era of increased globalization & # 8211;
New Robber Barons who live abroad, and a plan to transform the world in a
store of the company & # 8211; a return to domestic workers' rights and
fair negotiations is a crucial plank in maintaining the independence of the
middle class.
Are you the man for the job?
Complaining is one thing; anyone who's ever worked a day honest wage for an
honest knows that complaints are endless. Collage of these complaints is
half the reason bars were invented. But for workers established a union,
you must have more than complaints.
First, you must lead by example. It's not enough to be a companion in a
green hardhat obstinate; at this point, you might as well be a social
justice warrior, fresh out of college, and full of ideas on how everyone
should live their lives.
If you want to make a positive difference in the world, you must first make
a positive difference in your life everyday. You must be a competent
employee with several years of experience under your belt, and a great
knowledge of businesses that are complementary to your specialty. You must
be able to demand quality out of others by doing it yourself quality.
Second, you must know the market of financial stocks in which you operate.
After all, what we're talking negotiates with owners who are more concerned
about interest rates and government subsidies that with the construction
makes the product damned.
The core of your complaint as a trader is that they're not appreciate the
struggles of you and your brothers on the factory floor; ergo it incumbent
on you to understand the struggles they're dealing in offices. Nothing is
built without a skilled pair of hands, but this pair of skilled hands is
inactive if someone isn t working with the bank to finance the entire
project. You need to inquire about their area of expertise if you ever
want to negotiate with them as an adult.
Third, you must make a moral inventory. Your frustrations are centered
around greed and ignorance of the owners, right? In this case, you must
ensure that you aren t motivated by greed in turn.
In the late twentieth century, unions have become power hungry and became
just as bad as they were opposed. They consolidated power in all
industries, sought the support of legislators from the government, and
placed unreasonable demands to the owners, resulting in the collapse of
many industries in North America.
Often these unions would prey on the companion, forcing them to pay dues so
they can live like fat cats they decried, and liquidated as being
responsible for the Rust Belt as the globalists who want a world of serfs .
the desire to destroy you class. There is always an excuse for the
spendthrift ways of the person who voices it. Whether it is a university
graduate with a useless degree, or a plumber blowing his paycheck at the
bar every weekend, the desire to class is a sign of immaturity and
irresponsibility. If you haven t learned how to act like an adult, then
you're not able to help your coworker.
Carrot or stick?
Great action capture our imagination, and when it comes to unions there's
nothing greater than the general strike. The men are all organized, news
channels are in full force, and the owners are sweating bullets as their
assembly lines fail to turn. It is a dramatic vision, the oppressed rising
up to get rid of the shackles of their oppressors and # 8230; but is also
costly and destructive to all those involved.
Consider the second amendment for a moment, and why it is that men wear a
gun on his hip. Does living in a kind of fantasy world John Wayne? Or is it
to deter crime? You're much better avoid both the perpetrator and the
police investigation that has ventilation mugger said.
Your goal shouldn t be on the fight against the bosses, as solutions that
will help you both. A qualified worker, who reports to work on time,
remains sober and did a good job, is a massive carrot; by industry, they
may be few. Instead of focusing on the strike, if you focus on the creation
of a network of men you could vouch? A free association of professionals
whose work is guaranteed?
Offering homeowners a carrot, you managed to get your foot in the door.
Because your group is reliable, they can already start demanding higher
wages than others in your industry & # 8211; and because you're earning
higher wages, there will be many others who'll want to join you. Finally,
if you need, you will have enough people in your organization to create a
significant strike & # 8230; but if you were to develop a good relationship
with the owners, in all likelihood, you won t have to.
Command and control
The advantage of starting out small, is that you have less need for
organization. But if you're going to succeed, you need to start planning
for your organization from the start.
Conquest of the second law of political states Any organization not
explicitly right becomes the left wing, sooner or later & # 8221. What he
means is that any organization that explicitly know doesn own goal, after
falls the smallest common denominator. That's why the online movements
always fail, and if your association degenerated into nothing but groans
and complaints, all you'll wind up doing is you and your confederates
blacklists.
It is essential that you maintain clarity for your organization and
perspective and concern for your neighbor, and by the use punitive license
fees / union nor destroy the industry with excessive demands.
To do this will require education. Just as you have learned about the
financial difficulties of the owners are forced to deal with, you'll have
to learn about the organizational difficulties. The founding fathers of the
United States succeeded because they had studied many forms of government
before conducting their revolution. If you plan to succeed, you will also
study the many successes and failures that exist in the pages of history.
Conclusion
Individual autonomy within the hierarchy is the foundation of Western
civilization; it is what made the West the most successful company in the
world. Even in medieval times, a farmer can genuflect to a nobleman, but it
wasn t should kowtow shaking in fear. And for his part, treated noble, even
the meanest peasant huts like a house, applying for admission rather than
force his way politely.
The spirit of internationalism rejects this mutual respect and inherent
dignity to which all men claim. He rather seeks to atomize the individual
igniting zealous loyalty to monolithic groups. The solution is to reject
both extremes. Neither extreme individualism, where every man is for
himself or blind loyalty of an us against them ethics. Assertiveness is the
key: demand respect for others, while giving respect in return.
A new wave of unionization & # organic, conscientious and responsible 8211;
or association or network, or any term you want & # 8211; could play a
vital role in restoring the American middle class and its industrial base.
Each of us has a role to play, and there are great opportunities out there
for those who are willing to take the mantle of responsibility, who are
willing to go out and seize the opportunity, and are ready to keep the
standard that has made our great ancestors.
