Unions Are Backwards

Kevin: f***ing union is striking outside my building
making a F***-TON of noise
I want to eat their throats
Cameron: what union?
Kevin: construction
Cameron: lol what do they want? a bigger untenable debt bubble so we can construct more housing units that nobody can afford to buy?
Kevin: they are bitching about being replaced by non-union labour
Cameron: ahahahaha rofl
“They took our jobs! Mu’f***az willin’ ta work fa less!”
Kevin: Once again, the unions make a nuisance of themselves.

I quite honestly feel that current labor unions in the United States are an absurd bastardization of a once useful social construct. Where there once was a need for strong unions to protect workers as the industrial revolution introduced health and safety issues never before seen to the world, their current incarnation is often nothing but an mere shimmer of their earlier intentions. The 19th century brought worker protection against unfair and unsafe labor practices into the realm of government legislation, which is where it should stay.

thats what f***ing minimum wage is for
and all those ass-backward safety requirements
Cameron: yeah
Kevin: also, I personally feel that employers are over-responsible for workplace injuries. If you are a dumb-f*** and fall off a building, that’s your own damn fault, your family shouldn’t be able to sue the company into the ground. However, on the other hand, employers should be responsible to provide adequate safety equipment if requested.  It’s like the f***ing seatbelt law, if you dont want to wear the f***ing thing then don’t! The only person you’re going to injure is yourself.
Cameron: you’re preaching to the choir here, haha
