Unions and the economy

If anyone can cite some source(s) or something explaining who is right, I would appreciate that.

Unions are worker monopolies. They're anti-competitive in a bad way:

You're forced to join the unions to get the job.
You're force to pay the union dues.
Lazy workers don't get fired because of unions.
Unions are protectionist. They hate new workers "stealing" their jobs and are more interested in maintaining their own job security at the expense of non-union workers. That means unions for good jobs can be difficult or impossible to join.

I would argue those jobs are only good to begin with BECAUSE of unions.

Also, considering what you get paid (prevailing wages), union dues are an irrelevant cost.

It is OBVIOUS union jobs are superior than non-union jobs in EVERY way. That's IMPOSSIBLE to argue against.

My question has more to do with how unions affect that actual economy and if "unions causing inflation" is actually legit or propaganda crap.

this, right here.

definitely this. my job is unionized the same job of the competitor isn't unionized and they get paid half as much and half to do more work. ill happily pay the union fee of 27 dollars a month to not get dicked around that hard. the company still pushes the union hard and we're losing everything piece by piece. losing pay, vacation, jobs going overseas, how much and when we get paid overtime as we used to get overtime just for working sundays. you dont get that stuff without a union.

Unions are Boomer Tier and Cancer on Society

>That Kid works hard but he is only 25 he don't need to be making full journeyman wages
unions are for redneck boomers that can not read and keep one head nigger in charge of all the funds

Incoherent argument

Where is this cat from?

>be union worker
>do my job
>something goes wrong
>managers march around looking for random people to declare the scapegoat
>managers are forbidden from using me as a scapegoat
>have to use non-union other managers as scapegoats
>continue coming to work because the contrary would make me tell them to go fuck themselves
Works pretty good for me.
